n Friday November 9th, the Henegar Center willO host the debut of Teatro Storvandre, likely the most stunning variety entertain- ment event ever to stop off in Melbourne. Show founder and creative producer, Eddie Diaz, said the event is part cabaret, part circus and part comedy. “Teatro is theater in Spanish,” he said. “And Storvandre comes from Romanian language, which goes back to the tradition of the gypsies. It means long- distance travelers. So Teatro Storvandre can be translated as ‘theatre of long-distance travelers.”

Indeed, Teatro Storvandre’s entertainers hail from all over the world. “Our performers are from Russia, different parts of Europe, Cuba and Puerto Rico.” With the help of circus direc- tor, Carlos Diaz, and show direc- tor, Adrian LePeltier, Eddie Diaz believes the event opens up Cirque Du Soleil-style entertainment to a broader audience. “We have been producing Cirque Du Soleil-style shows for over four years now for corporate audiences,” said Eddie

There has been nothing more relaxing than sitting at their beach bar, listening to live music and eating (usu- ally more thane one) fish tacos. Besides that you can en- joy occasional music festivals like “Sandbar Rockstock” (20 bands in 3 days), surf parties and just last month the “Okto-Beer-Fest”. Now Melbourne Beach can look forward to a similar venue, since Sandbar-owners Andrew and Jillian Bunin opened up a second location - the Sandbar Pizza Grill located on Ocean Avenue. “We serve the same menu as our location in Cocoa Beach, and we are very family oriented”, says Jillian. They are now having their first annual food drive until November 21st called “Find the Good”. Jillian: “We are hoping people will open their hearts to a good cause and bring the good out in themselves and each other.” Food bins are set up at both locations as well as in other businesses. The food and proceeds from raffles will go to the Brevard’s Women’s Center and ten local families associ- ated with Club Zion in Cocoa Beach.

was flipping around on the tube the other day when I came across a whole channel of “reality” TV shows. YouI know… the ones that show real people in various precarious situations. Reality TV as we know it began back in 1992 when MTV first broadcast The Real World. A bunch of people living in a house, see everything they do, bla, bla, bla. Geeze, it just reminds me of the times I couldn’t afford my own place! Somewhere back in the early Seventies, we had 8 or 9 people sharing a 3 bedroom apartment. Now that was reality! Anyway, after that show, everybody jumped on the bandwagon. Shows like “Survivor” showed up. Chunk a bunch of people on a deserted island and watch what happens. Wait! Let’s divide them into teams and make them do really stupid stuff! Sounds like one of my parties down in St. Croix. Of course, we had ample amounts of weed and vodka to help us get over the trag- edy of getting voted out! Hell, after a while, we were trying to get voted out..heheh…but that’s another story. Then came a masterpiece of entertainment called “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”. The premise here is to take a really grungy looking dude, send over 5 gay guys to hang out with him, they give him and his apart- ment a makeover, and send him on a date. I really, re- ally want some of whatever they were doing when they thought this one up! It always ended the same. The grungy dude and his apartment both ended up looking gay, so he had a great date (you guys know how women go for gay guys..). Now, reality TV has really come a long way. I finally found one I could get into. Its called “Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team”. Each week is filled with nubile young ladies who want to become cheerleaders. (DUH!) They have to exercise (jump up and down in skimpy outfits), learn to dance (jump up and down in skimpy outfits), and learn the routines (jump up and down in skimpy outfits). The best part is when they have to try on their uniforms (even skimpier outfits!). If they don’t look good, they’re out, so they’re inspected from every angle possible. Hey, how did they get the camera there? Of course we all remember the classic “Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire”, where a group of women vie for the affections of a guy that’s really not a millionaire, but they think he is. Gee, I can see why this can only go

When Brad and I started getting together, we were like, this is something different. And we got so lucky that we were able to do all that stuff of our own style.” Castro also attributes the group’s original music success to the truthful nature of DCT’s music: “Our music,” said Castro, “it’s definitely roots, rock, reggae, R&B and soul. And it’s truthful; and you can feel it. Brad says when people talk about our music, the longer they take to talk about it the better we’re doing.” Camp believes that his group’s combination of serious musical talent as well as positive, meaningful songs is what really has sets DCT apart from others. “I really believe in the spiritual aspect to it,” he said. “Our music is just really positive, we stay positive with everything. A lot of the music with a positive message, it’s just not good. There’s a bunch of ignorant shit on the radio, but it’s good. So it’s going to sell records. So many bands have either or, but I feel like we are one of the few bands that have ‘m both: food for your soul and mind. “ In fact, Camp said he was particularly drawn to reggaebecause it was a near guarantee “every little thing, is going to be OK,” as the song goes. “One reason why reggae music inspired me is that no matter what the story is in the song, there’s always a positive ending. It’s the attitude and the way you look at things.” So far, so good. If DCT is any indication, a positive mindset seems like it can really go a long way to making a dream become reality. In November the group will perform several shows throughout Brevard. On November 4th DCT plays Captain Hirams in Sebastian; November 7 at Ocean Deck in Daytona Beach, November 10 at Wynfield Sport’s Bar (Formerly Rockets) in Satellite Beach, November 21 at Club Vegas along with 5th Avenue Onlys and Local 518 in Palm Bay, and November 25 at the Sports Page in Satellite Beach.

Brevard Live November 2007 - 27 MOVIES by Greg Kimple & Franco Dean

THE BRAVE ONE Starring: Jodie Foster, Terrence Howard, Nicky Katt. Rated: R. Running Time: 108 Minutes In this preposterous film about getting revenge, it is the overall performance by 2 time Academy Award winner Foster that truly shines. It is the material that is questionable. She portrays Erica Bain, a NYC radio talk show host who proceeds on a gun-totin’ rampage after her boyfriend is killed and she is nearly beaten to death in Central Park. As she becomes an urban avenger, she begins to wash the streets of all the scum, just like DeNiro did with his Travis Bickle character in the 1976 movie Taxi Driver, which featured Foster as a 13 year old hooker. She is at her fiercest, with vengeful blue eyes, showing quite a range of emotions. She is like a passionate female Charles Bronson with a “Death Wish”, if you will. She purchases a firearm for $1000 and goes on a vigilante street journey ridding the Big Apple of some of its low lifes. Howard plays Mercer, a homicide detective who comes to her aid, only to figure out after extensive investigation that Erica is the alleged male vigilante that he is pursuing. A relation of unique qualities begins to blossom between Bain & Mercer. The film’s climax will have you scratching your head in bewilderment at the actions perpetuated by Mercer, the good cop. Directed by Neil Jordan of Crying Game fame, this film has few redeeming qualities but will surely grab your attention. C

MICHAEL CLAYTON Starring: George Clooney, Tom Wilkenson, Tilda Swinton & Sidney Pollack. Rated: R. Running Time: 118 Minutes Oscar winner Clooney should get a bit of Oscar buzz concerning his title role as a veteran “fixer” for a Manhattan law firm of high character. He is all business with no B.S., getting the firm out of embarrassing situations. Dark and brooding, Clooney replaces his usual charm with a sweaty brow and a look of impending danger. This story revolves around a $3 billion class- action suit in which a manufactured weed killer has killed hundreds of people on their farms. Clooney displays good acting chops as a man close to the edge. He, Swinton and Pollack all sink their teeth into this overpowering story, eating up a lot of scenery in this intriguing and engrossing legal drama. B

EASTERN PROMISES Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts, Vincent

28 - Brevard Live November 2007 Cassel, Armin Mueller-Stahl. Rated: R. Running Time: 100 Minutes What we have here is director David Cronenberg (Scanners, The Fly, Dead Ringers & 2005’s A History Of Violence) securing another bona fide hit movie. He is a very artistic filmmaker, delivering his weight in wildcats when it comes to taking chances. This is a tense and complex story about a Russian crime family located in London and the actions of its driver and undertaker, Nikolai (Mortensen). He is a rugged individual who has seen a lot of death in his life but also has an underlying softness that belies his mob beliefs. He meets Anna (Watts) who is a midwife for a London hospital who has helped a dying teenage girl give birth and wants to find the newborn’s next of kin, which takes her on a journey into the mob world. The dead girl had in her possession a diary that mentioned harmful things that some important people did to her. This is a gripping and involved tale that showcases Viggo as a leading man with a tight lip and a big heart. He is bad but he is not evil. In one particular sequence Nikolai is confronted by 2 black-clad goons in a bathhouse who want to do him bodily harm. Viggo is in his birthday suit (girls, check out his credentials). This fight sequence is very intense and brutal and in an instant elevates the film. Throughout the movie there is violence and brutality, artistic as is the sex scene. Watts is also very good and she does her best “King Kong” bewilderment act. But make no mistake about it, this is Viggo’s movie. No Lord of the Rings, no Hildago, just Viggo’s promises. B-

MELBOURNE INDEPENDENT FILMMAKERS he ninth annual Melbourne Independent Filmmak- ers Festival (MIFF) is November 2nd and 3rd at the PremiereT Theaters Oaks Stadium 10. Last year’s MIFF was star-studded (pun intended) with actor Patrick Warburton making a red carpet entry to the festival along with actors David Alan Basche and Pat- rick Gallo, all of whom appeared in the film “I’ll Believe You.” Producer Ted Sullivan and Director Patrick Sulli- van were also in attendance. The festival had the honor of showing “I’ll Believe You.” The film’s theatrical release is slated for this fall. Terry Cronin of 3 Boys Productions and one of the founders of the festival said he has some nego- tiations in the works for appearances at this year’s festival. “It’s going to be a hoot to see who’s who at this year’s MIFF,” Cronin said. Friday November 2 is Fright Night; a night filled with horror Indy films. This year they will also be having a costume contest with prizes. Saturday No- vember 3 there will be a matinee with Florida Films and International films and Saturday night is the VIP party.

Brevard Live November 2007 - 39 scene

By Jeff Nall Here’s a little about a lot I think y’all should know about.

ROCK FOR A GOOD CAUSE First off, you really can’t miss the amazing benefit show taking place on November 25th at Pizza di Rock in Merritt Island. The all day event will feature numerous bands to include In Passing, and County Line battle of the bands victor, A Fool’s Conspiracy. Organizer, Chelsea Ayers said that the money raised will benefit an organization called Visible Hearts for Invisible Children, which aims to assist children in Uganda by assisting them in the construction of schools and houses. “I feel that this is a good way for kids to get involved in the world around them and keep them up-to- date on current events.”

OTEP, in CONCERT Something else you should know is that the heaviest woman-fronted metal band around, , is finally back with a new record deal and a tour with Hellyeah. The disk, “The_Ascension,” was just released the last week of October. What’s more, the band will perform with Hellyeah and Bloodsimple on November 30 at the City of Palms Park in Fort Myers. And both OTEP and Hellyeah will play on December 2 at the Hard Rock Café here in Orlando.

BEN HARPER & THE INNOCENT CRIMINALS - “LIFELINE” People, there’s a CD that just came out that you’d be damn near insane not to pick up. Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals’ “Lifeline.” About three-four months ago I went through a pretty intense breakup that sort of went from joyride to car crash in a matter of days. Equally out of no where, the kind folk over at Virgin Records drop this gem in my PO Box. And have to tell you, “Lifeline” has been instrumental in both helping me convulse all of my emotional agony while simultaneously helping me screw my head firmly back onto my shoulders. So if you love music that you literally fall in love with, a music that fills you with a light that both burns and enlightens, this is the ticket. Perhaps it’s best to highlight the first and most assertive track on the disk, “Fight Outta You.” Here Ben makes a sedate and soulful plea that we all keep our heads up and dignity out of the dirt: “There’s always

Brevard Live November 2007 - 55 the arts

nthony Guidone’s goal for his photog- raphy is “to record a view of life as itA passes from one generation to another.” When Guidone spoke of his work, he said, “In a changing world, I am compelled by the importance of preserving events – natu- ral and unnatural – that make a difference and give substance to our lives.” What sets Guidone’s photography apart from others is that he has made the transition from photo- journalism to fine art photography.

Guidone always wanted to be a photojournalist and the choices he made in life have led him there. He started at the New York School of Printing. It was the only high school in the nation designed to teach students the skills needed for the print industry. At the school, he learned typesetting, page layout, graphic design, person- alities of type, and nomenclature of design. He learned everything about print except photography itself. The whole school was a print shop with direct application of what was learned. They taught him all aspects of how to physically put a newspaper together. From there, he worked at various print shops in , but that lasted for less than a year. He went into the United States Marine Corps for four years and was assigned to a printing/photography unit. Those four years of concentrated photography work prepared him for life after discharge. After the Marines, Guidone worked for different photo studios in New York City for approximately two ANTHONY years. Then he was hired by an ad agency and worked for them for 27 years on the creative side of advertising and marketing. During that time, he devoted his spare time to freelance photojournalism. He called it “photog- raphy by opportunity.” His goal was to record events in GUIDONE a lifelike manner. He reached that goal. In photo after photo, he captured and crystallized life in New York b y City. During that time, he produced photographs mostly L o u B e l c h e r for himself. He sold a couple of magazine covers – one to NY State of the Arts and another to US Air Force Magazine—but he mainly built a photograph library of life. When Guidone retired from the ad agency, he moved to New Hampshire for three years. After that, he was invited back into the advertising and marketing industry, moved to North Miami Beach, and spent three

56 - Brevard Live November 2007 the arts years there as the head of advertising for a firm. Eventually, Guidone moved to Palm Bay, Florida, and bought Republic Title Company in 1989. Shortly after moving to the Melbourne area, Guidone became in- volved with the Melbourne Art Festival. He has been on the committee for the festival since 1989. He also served on the Henegar Center for the Arts Board of Directors for three years and is a member of the Strawbridge Art League and the Brevard Art Museum. One of Guidone’s interests is Central America – its people, villages, foliage. Consequently, he has traveled extensively throughout Central America for photograph- ic reasons and many of his photographs depict that area with raw artistic clarity. He is planning a return trip to Central America to gather more images for his current projects: an exhibit and a book. He also has worked on a collaboration with Dr. Linda Tavernier-Almada, associate professor of anthro- pology at Rollins College who is writing a book on the history of Eatonville, Florida (the first black town to be incorporated in the country). The book is a work in progress. Guidone has participated in several Strawbridge Art League exhibits and has won awards for his photogra- phy. In 2006, he won Best of Category in the Paper- Works exhibit for his photograph entitled Inferno. He won Third Place for his photograph Fish House in the 2006 Landmarks – Our Heritage exhibit, and he won Third Place in the 2006 Vision Exhibit for his photo- graph Road Side. Also in 2006, he photographed The Nutcracker performed by the Space Coast Ballet at the King Center for the Performing Arts. Guidone has a continuing exhibit at the Republic Title Company in Melbourne, Florida and a continuing exhibit at the Henegar Center for the Arts. Also, he has had two one-man shows, A Point of View in December, more of his photography, visit his website at photo- 2004, and A View of Life in April, 2007. pointofview.com.
