New Work World Premiere - Bailaora – within me, within you is as sophisticated and nuanced as it is simple: A work conceived between the meeting of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
This act embodies Siudy Garrido's personal vision of the evolution of flamenco. Step into the perspective of purity, envisioned through the movements of an impure dancer launching her spirit into a lifetime journey. Bailaora pokes on the genuine path of Flamenco, through dance and music, and takes a step beyond what is already established, making it as metaphorical as it is real. The spectator will follow an emotional road map through dance, absorbing timeless experiences that become an artistic AWAKENING.
Set to newly composed music by Juan Parrilla, who blends traditional flamenco music with modern elements to create a subtle texture of fusion with the visceral fabric of traditional flamenco. The result is a resounding humanist and feminist commentary on self-invention and self-determination, revealing the vulnerability and inner strength of a warrior whose only weapon is her art.
Award-winning choreographer Siudy Garrido is recognized for her contemporary perspective on flamenco. Her company has collaborated with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Pittsburgh Opera and flamenco stars Farruquito and Antonio Canales. The company also appeared on Season 3 of NBC's primetime television series World of Dance.
“As a choreographer, Garrido blends traditional aspects of flamenco — the rapid-fire footwork, the expressive curvature of the arms and extended fingers, with a sense of modern movement more akin to Martha Graham.”
- San Francisco Voice, 2019
“Garrido is a brilliant soloist with a vibrant company.”
- Los Angeles Times, 2015
Siudy Flamenco’s new show, Bailaora — Within Me, Within You, traces the evolution of flamenco from a New World perspective. The world-premiere piece features original music by Spanish composer Juan Parrilla, known for his work with Joaquín Cortés and the Spanish National Ballet.
