Miami, FL – October 25, 2014 – On Saturday evening, the National YoungArts Foundation (YoungArts) launched Outside the Box, a new series featuring free performances by YoungArts alumni supported by ArtPlace America. The first performance of the multi-sensory extravaganza featured GRAMMY Award-nominated musician Dave Eggar, who was joined by Michele de la Reza, Kate Davis , Ernest Baker, Jake Goldbas, Andrew Nemr, Brittanie Brown, and Allysen Hooks. The talented dancers and musicians brought to life the YoungArts campus, using it as an interactive laboratory for their performance, which included a family-friendly improvisational act, and a preview of their Festival Miami show. The show offered a glimpse into the creative process of these world-class performers and a one-of-a-kind piece of art, with the Jewel Box as the inspiration for the spontaneous creation of original music and dance. Outside the Box attendees, including YoungArts President & CEO Paul T. Lehr and his wife Jeannine, Tracey Corwin, Amy & Rich Kohan, Marcia Martinez, Martin Rozenblum, Carolyn Travis, Carlos Rosso, Ellen Marchman Larkey, David Aaron, Giovanna Bush, Jill Braufman, Giselle Kovac and Jules Oaklander watched the live performance, enjoyed tasty treats from JugoFresh, Lulu’s and Illegal Bakery, and learned some beneficial yoga moves by Trio Yoga.
