Dance

Youth Ballet company and school presenting ballet classics, as well as flamenco and hip-hop pieces.

Virtuoso performers Patricia Guerrero and Alfonso Losa throw away the rule book to explore personal connection. Guerrero draws geometric figures with her dance. She dismantles her movements and re-creates them. Losa develops new schemes without breaking the mold, builds without deconstructing and stays true to his roots. Alter Ego is flamenco stripped bare. It is pure passion, visceral movement and unfettered exploration.

Born in Frankfurt and raised in Ogíjares, a small town in Granada, Eva Yerbabuena is considered “a visionary and masterful dancer” (The Guardian) who is “touched by greatness” (The Times) and embodies “the type of once-in-a-generation artist” (The Independent). Her work draws on the teachings of artists such as Enrique “El Canastero,” Angustillas “La Mona,” Mariquilla, Mario Maya and Juan García, who taught her choreography and movement in Cuba. In 2001, Yerbabuena was invited by Pina Bausch to dance in Wuppertal, Germany with Mikhail Baryshnikov, Marie-Claude Pietragalla and Ana Laguna. In 1998, at only 28 years old, Yerbabuena created her own company. Since then, she has choreographed a dozen shows and been recognized around the world.

In this new show, Manuel Liñán seeks sustenance through emotion and flesh, a journey to discover humanity’s need for connection. Featuring 12 artists onstage, the performance aims to create an atmosphere of desire, fantasy, provocation and intimacy.
