By comparing and contrasting the lives of Leonardo and Michelangelo to inspire your employees and raise personal awareness to ultimately bring a person’s quality of life to the next level.
Mark Rodgers, The Curator and mastermind of the DaVinci and Michelangelo Exhibitions for North America for over 10+ years, compare and contrast the lives of Leonardo and Michelangelo. Through this multi-media experience, the event showcases these legendary geniuses at their very best and looks at their work through a contemporary lens, relating them to the present-day geniuses of Jacques Couteau, Les Paul and Paul McCartney. The message is that we can use the lives of these two monumental men to inspire “us” to reach our full potential and to “Discover the DaVinci In You.” The DaVinci Michelangelo Experience has toured the US over the last 10 years and most recently performed its 100+ off-Broadway show at the SoHo Playhouse in NYC on March 11, 2022. This powerful performance, in a 45 minute Speakers Series format, is set to awe and inspire a corporate meeting/event.
Mark Rodgers, The Curator and mastermind of the DaVinci and Michelangelo Exhibitions for North America for over 10+ years, describes the process of taking him from being one of the largest real estate developers in the Midwest in 2008 • 2010, to literally and economically being ""wiped out"" by the bank foreclosures in one of the largest real estate meltdowns in US history. By investigating, recognizing opportunities, and taking a huge chance, Mark, through alliances and previous business contacts, was able to represent, create and market the national touring exhibition of the DaVinci Machines and Michelangelo Exhibitions from Florence, Italy that has toured the US since 2011.
Mark, pulling from his experience at CBS Television, personally designed the layout. marketing and wrote the DaVinci Machines Guided Tour that guides patrons through the exhibition. The tours became so popular that those tours were produced into a performing arts theater production that made its major theatrical debut at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Sarasota, FL in 2014. The DaVinci Michelangelo Experience Theatrical Production was signed and represented by the internationally renowned theatrical booking agency Columbia Artists Theatricals in NYC. The multi-media production made its Off-Broadway debut on August 15th, 2019 in NYC and continued for over 100+ performances. In 2022, The DaVinci Michelangelo Experience Theatre Production was nominated by Broadway World for Best Play, Best Actor, Best Direction, Best Lighting, and Sound. The theatrical production continues today.
