Celebrate Florida’s rich cultural and natural landscapes through a multimedia presentation with live contemporary dance from renowned choreographer David Parsons and set to the music of Andrew Bird and Tiempo Libre.

• Spirit of South Florida will pay tribute to 4 of Florida’s most precious parks: Big Cypress National Preserve, Biscayne National Park, Dry Tortugas National Park, and Everglades National Park.
• The multimedia performance will include HD video on an enormous backdrop featuring dancing and scenery captured on-site in the parks, as well as live dance from renowned choreographer David Parsons. The performance will feature a series of dance vignettes interpreting key themes of the four National Parks. Choreographer David Parsons will explore the movement patterns of iconic wildlife (alligators; spoonbill, Anhinga, and egret birds; and fish). He will highlight the recreation available in the wilderness and on the water, and will also honor the resilient spirit of a population that overcomes the devastating effects of hurricanes and celebrate an island park that welcomes Cuban refugees onto American soil.
• The first half of the evening will be performed to multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird’s Useless Creatures, with the second half featuring live musical accompaniment from Miami’s own GRAMMY-nominated Tiempo Libre.
