The American Masterworks String Festival opened with a dynamic recital Tuesday night by violinist Lara St. John at the intimate Little Stage Theater in Miami Beach. This first in a weeklong series of America music performances presented by the SoBe Institute of the Arts concentrated on the populist side of contemporary composition and transcriptions, with future programs promising an edgier side of Americana.

Physically ripped and emotionally expansive, the Haitian dance troupe Ayikodans returned to Miami and the Adrienne Arsht Center on Friday evening. The swell of emotion that surrounded the troupe’s performance there a year ago, as community leaders gathered to support a company on the verge of collapse after the Haitian earthquake, has leveled off somewhat. And that made it easier to look at the troupe and its work.
In David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize-winning ‘Proof,’ a young woman who has inherited her father’s mathematical genius struggles with the idea that she may also share his madness. Katherine Michelle Tanner plays the daughter, Kenneth Kay her dad, and the cast also features Cliff Burgess and Sarah Grace Wilson. William Hayes directs the production at Palm Beach Dramaworks, 201 Clematis St., West Palm Beach. Performances are 8 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Wednesday and Saturday-Sunday (some 7 p.m. Sunday shows), through June 17. Tickets are $55 (students $10).
