YOUR SUPPORT IS VITAL TO OUR SUCCESS
Dear friend,
I'm sure you will agree that NWSA students play an important role in the artistic and cultural development of our city and of our state. Their talent can be appreciated and enjoyed in many venues and happenings, from Arteamericas to the Sony Ericsson Open, and from the American Beauty Performance in St. Louis to Miami-Dade Days in Tallahassee, these young artists are leaving their imprint as they canvass our nation.
Your involvement is crucial to their artistic growth, and your support is a vital source of inspiration. As you take part in our performing and visual arts activities you will be helping us fulfill our mission "... to empower students to become state, national and international leaders in the arts...," securing Florida's rightful place in our nation's arts community. | |

MICHAEL LOVELAND PRESENTS LOGICAL GESTURES
Michael Loveland, NWSA visual arts faculty and 1991 NWSA alum, presents Logical Gestures, a solo exhibition, during the April Wynwood Art District second Saturday Gallery Walk. Renowned for his works and installations using found objects, Loveland will present his work alongside two other local artists.
The show brings together Loveland's newest sculptures that explore the status of the pedestal in contemporary art. Strictly as a tool to present a sculpture, to clarify what is and what is not an art object, and to signify the importance of what is being displayed. The pedestal has been undermined in modern art history since Constantine Brancusi's sculptures of the early 20th century. With these ideas of placement and presentation Loveland's work take's on a new light when made from objects of the every day such as parking curbs, old painted wood signs, and fabrics collected from his world travels. Miami Art Museum recently acquires one of his new works for its permanent collection.
Saturday, April 11 - Tuesday, May 5
Tue. - Fri. 10 am - 5 pm; Sat. 10 am - 3 pm
Opening reception: April 11; 7:30 pm - 10 pm

 TRELAWNY OF THE WELLS RESONATES WITH STUDENTS
As the final production of the College year, "the relationships, insecurities, and dreams depicted in Arthur Pinero's Trelawny of the Wells resonates strongly in the minds and hearts of NWSA's twenty-two aspirant young graduates" said Andrew Noble, Director of the play at NWSA.
With sublime craftsmanship, and detail, Pinero not only recreates an era of a bygone period when theatre was on the cusp of change, and vividly captures the dreams and struggles of theatre folk, and reveals the artist's eternal quest for innovation. At nineteen, pretty and vivacious actress, Rose Trelawny is the star of the Badnigge Wells Theatre Company. To escape the insecurities of the theatre's "gypsy life", she becomes engaged to Arthur, grandson of Sir William Gower, a prominent judge, and enters the atmosphere of Victorian England's upper class.

 COLLEGE SPRING DANCE CONCERT
Five choreographic works will be presented by eighty-five College students during the Spring Concert, where Daniel Lewis, dean of dance at NWSA, will present his There's Nothing Here of Me but Me, a work about an actor lost between his performance and reality.
Other works to be presented are guest choreographer Michael Uthoff's revival piece A Media Luz, originally created for NWSA dancers in 2001.

Two master works by Martha Graham Acts of Light and Doris Humphrey's Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor will close the program.
