Soleá por Buleria 2020/ 21 ... one could feel the pain and restraints from lockdown in dancers for a long time, but flamenco heals ...
Back to normal: week long party for missed birthdays, marriages and new-borns ...
Life is starting to feel like The Leftovers series ... most people can return to work, but not the dance community despite the fact that our students aren't forced to come, it would be their personal choice to attend if they felt it was a safe space ...
For the people who advocate to go online, please do not ask us to reduce the classical performing arts space to a small screen: have you ever been to a live performance in a theatre?
Have you ever experienced the impact between performer and audience that no video can ever capture?
Have you ever felt how the sound of a real instrument envelopes and penetrates your soul?
Do you know what applause and a standing ovation feels like?
We are prepared to wait, but abstain from using online as an overall solution going forward ...
From a Flamenco perspective, if I had to choreograph now it would definitely be Siguirilla
At least The Leftovers had a epic theme (and they could buy smokes in the series):

I would like to thank Coll Gomes for creating and sharing her personal journey of capturing the raw emotion of flamenco drawings through her website: http://collillustrator.withtank.com (see the gallery section)
I wondered at the time how and which opportunity will be adequate to use these drawings and somehow COVID-19, seems like the perfect time: people face isolation, sorrow, fear to moments of elation: and this is what flamenco is all about and possibly why people identify with it so much...
Thank you for your dedication ❤️

- I don’t care for the mistakes made on stage at all
- I don’t care for the feedback from the audience at alI
AlI I wish for, is that every performer be happy with their own performance within their abilities of that day …
It is not only within their dance capabilities, but facing the world when they might feel completely de-centered by personal events and pressure in their lives, which will ultimately reflect on stage … it takes great courage to still lift their heads, be authentic and rise above the personal to experience a unique moment of liberation … and the reason why we continue dancing
That being said, it is a bonus when the audience starts participating with jaleos and hearing the chatter afterwards about being ‘inspired’, ‘the vibe’, ‘the energy’, ‘too short show’ and ‘visceral’ …
Thank you to all for making flamenco magic happen!
