Deciding how much culture is worth the way at the Adrienne Arsht Center. At least for one season. The Arsht wants to make sure everyone gets a seat at the table. To do that, they\u2019re bringing in gospel, pride, family-friendly performances and some hip-hop moves.<\/p>\n
A night at the theater usually comes with a price tag. This season, the Arsht Center is putting the choice in your hands: pay what you can, find a seat, and enjoy the show.<\/p>\n
Jairo Ontiveros, executive producer at the Arsht: \u201cThis year we\u2019re introducing our pay-what-you-can model. Cost should not be an issue for us to be able to present and for people to come here and be part of the performing arts.\u201d<\/p>\n
From Gospel Fest to D\u00eda De Los Muertos, the programming reflects the communities that call South Florida home.<\/p>\n
Jairo Ontiveros: \u201cThe artists that people will see on the stage here at the Arsht Center are in our neighborhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n
That includes Ground Zero Crew, the Miami breakdance pioneers bringing their experience to the stage next year.<\/p>\n
Bebe Breaks, co-founder of Ground Zero Crew: \u201cI think that when you see us, you\u2019ll see a really authentic, raw interpretation of what hip hop is and also of Miami.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the dancers, the Arsht Stage is a chance to bring a flair of Miami that audiences may know from the streets into a whole new setting.<\/p>\n
Bebe Breaks: \u201cWith the crew, my brothers, we have a lot of creative choreography, like threading through each other. This is a thread, you know you\u2019re taking a part of your body and moving another part of your body through it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whether it\u2019s a dance performance or a cultural celebration, the goal is to make the experience available to more people regardless of what\u2019s in their wallet.<\/p>\n
Jairo Ontiveros: \u201cWhen the lights go down, and you look left, and you look right, and the curtain rises for this performance, we\u2019re one community where we can celebrate each other\u2019s cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n
