University of Florida Performing Arts 2014-2015 Season From the Director Greetings! It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2014 – 2015 University of Florida Performing Arts (UFPA) Season. This season, UFPA is proud to present a line-up of world-class artists, from places both near and far. The internationalization of the University of Florida continues to be a top priority, and to that end, UFPA will continue to present artists from around the world. More than 20 countries will be represented by artists as diverse as Diplomats of Drum from Malaysia; Teatro Hugo & Ines from Peru; DakhaBrakha from the Ukraine; and The Nile Project, which features artists from countries touched by that great and mysterious river. For the first time we are identifying these live opportunities as “Artists Crossing Borders” which we will carry into future seasons, as well. At the request of many of our audience members, we have expanded our offerings of singer-songwriter artists. This season’s singersongwriters include Perla Batalla, John Gorka, Tab Benoit, Dala and David Wilcox. Each artist, while unique in their presentation, remains true to the storytelling tradition of the genre. Several years ago, UFPA launched its Chords of Color for a Cause series. Featuring performing artists who are cancer survivors or who have supported a loved one through an experience with cancer, this series demonstrates the profound impact that the performing arts can have on the healing process. Look for the Chords of Color logo which will identify events presented under the umbrella of this program. We are fortunate to live in a strong artistic community. To that end, a new set of offerings under the rubric “Local Routes” will provide a pathway for artists within our community to start appearing under the auspices of UFPA. Stay tuned for an announcement this fall about the local artists whose talents will be showcased in the intimacy of the Squitieri Studio Theatre, located in the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. The experience and power of a live performing arts event is unparalleled. We are appreciative of your continued support in our endeavors to provide a rich artistic resource for the community. I look forward to seeing you at one of our events this season.

Merzouki’s company “combines street dance with the circus to provide a gaspworthy, lighthearted, enormously creative show” (Chicago Tribune). In 2006, Merzouki met 11 young dancers from Rio de Janeiro. The Brazilian dancers had their roots in the favelas, and their individual stories struck a profound chord with the Compagnie Käfig choreographer. With a mix of hip-hop, capoeira, samba, electronica music and bossa nova, Agwa and Correria are two dance events filled with energy and invention. Sponsored by UF Health Shands Winner of the prestigious Downbeat Student Music Award for Outstanding Collegiate Jazz Vocalist, Sara Gazarek continues to seamlessly combine the intimacy of singer/songwriter stylings with the musical and improvisational elements of jazz. Blessed with a gorgeous, translucent voice, excellent pitch and supple sense of time, Gazarek is steeped in the jazz tradition, but is not afraid to embrace the music that moves her generation. Her newest release, Blossom & Bee, is an inspired and emotionally expressive album filled with the originality and artistry that Gazarek exudes. Besides recording and performing live, she is currently on faculty at the University of Southern California, leading their awardwinning vocal jazz ensemble.
