Detroit is obsessed with FELA! The dance-packed, theatrical musical performance showcases some of the best and brightest in the industry. My initial response to the production was “WOW, that was incredible.” As an “informed” audience member, however, I wanted to take my analysis beyond the simple obvious amazing dance, theater, and musical excellence of the cast of FELA and show how Fela’s story is transformative for Detroit and the human experience abroad.
Compressing a celebration of dance into one month is a daunting endeavor, but the Berman Center for the Performing Arts found a way to work it out.
During "Dance Month," which began Jan. 26 and ends Feb. 18, the West Bloomfield venue is putting the athletic, artistic skill in the spotlight with events including dance presentations, of course, and workshops by local, national and international performers.
"I got my first job with a dance company handling lighting, and I didn't realize just how much of a story that dance can tell," says Elaine Smith, managing director of the Berman Center.

Michigan Arts Making Dollars
WIXOM – A new report, Creative State Michigan, released by ArtServe Michigan – the state's leading statewide arts and cultural advocacy organization – shows that 211 nonprofit arts and cultural organizations contributed nearly half a billion dollars in expenditures alone to the economy of Michigan in 2009.
Among other data, the report reveals the significant impact of state dollars invested in the arts and culture nonprofit sector. For every $1 invested by the state, the arts and culture nonprofit sector contributed $51 into the Michigan economy. In fact, of the $462 million in annual expenditures by the creative community in 2009, $152 million was paid out in salaries for 15,560 jobs. From 2006 to 2010, the number of arts-related jobs increased by 4 percent in Michigan, while arts-related businesses increased by 43 percent.
Recently, dancepanorama sat down to talk with Mr. Paul in the midst of whirlwind preparations for the Music Hall’s hosting of ‘Fela!’ It’s a three-week residency for this Tony Award winning Broadway hit, and preparations have been under way for well over a year. Producers are Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. How does such a big project get rolling, and just how much energy and enthusiasm has to be generated to ensure its success?
