 AARON DRAPLIN: TALL TALES FROM A LARGE MANUsing scientific proof and state-of-the-art multimedia techniques, Aaron James Draplin of the Draplin Design Co. delivers a "suckerpunch of a talk" that aims to provide proof of work, the highs and lows of a ferociously independent existence and a couple tall tales from his so-called career in the cutthroat world of contemporary graphic design. Just a regular guy with a trajectory a little dirtier than average, his talk is open to all oncomers. Younger audience may find themselves inspired to attack their design future in a different way. For those who are already established, they may just leave feeling grateful that they don't have anything to do with him.

2014 RISING STARS SHOWCASE!
Rising Stars Showcase, a professionally staged, energy-packed, one-of-a-kind performance, presents the extraordinary talent of high school and college students from New World School of the Arts, Florida's premier arts institution.
The showcase begins at the New World Gallery with a juried visual arts exhibition featuring extraordinary student artworks. The show, as diverse as the school population, includes painting, drawing, design, sculpture, digital media and installations.
The evening continues just a few blocks away at the historic Olympia Theater - Gusman Center for the Performing Arts with a pre-performance VIP Reception to welcome guests to this artistic landmark. Following the reception, the performance showcases excerpts from works performed by the high school and the college students during the school year, including Once on this Island - a Caribbean-flavored award winning musical that combines the magic of love stories and the art of storytelling. The college actors will offer a sinister twist on the traditional fairy tales as they perform selected scenes from the ever-popular Tony Award winning musical Into the Woods. The melodies of Frank Ticheli will take over the Gusman as the NWSA Concert Band interprets Wild Nights under the direction of Brent Mounger, and led by maestro Alfred Gershfeld, the Symphony Orchestra will present Symphony Number 1 in F minor by Dimitri Shostakovich among other timeless compositions. Forced Entry, a rhythmically-intense work by guest choreographer Josée Garant, will bring forth the talent of the younger NWSA dancers. And among other moving choreography, the college dancers will present 1914, a powerful world-premiere in observance of the 100th anniversary of World War I, by renowned choreographer Darshan S. Bhuller.

JENCARLOS CANELA SHOWS OFF NWSA DURING
PREMIO LO NUESTRO
Music alum Jencarlos Canela took over Univision's Premio lo Nuestro as he presented his new release "Irreparable." The actor, singer, songwriter - who often returns to NWSA to visit students, faculty and administrators - insisted on having the NWSA Choir accompany him during the stellar performance. In an exclusive interview with Univision Jencarlos revealed why it was so important for him to feature the young NWSA singers in his new release, "I was always told - never forget where you came from. This school represents a most important part of my past - of who I am - as a human being and as a musician." The interview, which took place in the music building where he began his career as a singer, gave him the opportunity to join professor Al Clark and some of the Choir students to go over the performance and talk about his early days as a student of New World School of the Arts.
