SUMMARY:Paella y Pasion
DESCRIPTION:Paella y Pasion has become a popular part of the organization’s culturally rich Festival. That is one reason Flamenco Fever now plans to move this crowd-pleasing\, family-friendly event to spring\, presenting it as a stand-alone event to expand the organization’s public visibility\, provide additional flamenco-focused performance opportunities\, and build its audience and base of financial support. \nPaella y Pasion is already a proven way to bridge the divide between traditional flamenco performances in formal venues and economically diverse local audiences who customarily have limited or no access to such venues. Producing Paella y Passion each spring will provide another public event for local individuals and groups to perform for their families\, friends\, community members and existing flamenco aficionados as well as raise general public awareness about the art of flamenco and the role of Flamenco Fever in the Metroplex’s cultural landscape. \nAs Paella y Pasion has as part of the fall festival\, a spring event will provide beginning flamenco dancers\, singers and guitarists the relaxed atmosphere and supportive public outdoor environment they require to let their talents shine\, and more experienced students will get to meet and mentor newcomers to the flamenco arts. \nFor $20 per person\, audience members may also purchase a bowl of paella\, which comes with a flower\, a Spanish-themed polka-dot scarf or a fan – which further immerse them in the flamenco experience. Audience members are encouraged to bring a chair or blanket for comfort and to support the participation of families that span multiple generations.

SUMMARY:Tres Artes - The Painter & the Poet
DESCRIPTION:Flamenco Fever’s insightful Fusion Series will present Tres Artes:  The Painter and the Poet\, a story of Forbidden Love. \nAs part of the 2024 season of Elevator Project at the AT&T Performing Arts Center\, local students\, international musicians and dancers took the stage at Strauss Square to tell the tragic love story of painter Salvador Dalí and martyred Spanish poet\, playwright and flamenco aficionado\, Federico Garcia Lorca. \nJoin us for an evening of conceptual choreography\, elegant costuming and incredible music as we delve deeply into the provocative history of Spain and the rise of Surrealism\, the LGBTQ community and the Fascist Franconian Regime in the early 20th century.  War scene pyrotechnics provided by Fempyre. \nPintura\, Poesia y Pasion combines four dynamic art forms – live music\, dance and the recitation of Garcia Lorca’s poetry – into an unforgettable performance. In this sophisticated evening. The Cast includes Julia Alcantara – Local Director/Producer as “La Argentinita”\, Jorge Robledo (Argentina) as “Lorca” and Joseph Gonzales (Albuquerque) as “Salvador Dali”. \nFlamenco Fever produces nearly 70 performances annually\, each accompanied by requisite live music. They landed Dallas on the world map last summer when they were  the first American company in Spanish history to be invited to perform. Hundreds of flamenco aficionados\, and Spain’s top artists\, enthusiastically received the show.

SUMMARY:Lions Gate: Friday Ecstatic Dance
DESCRIPTION::: L I O N S :: G A T E ::\n“The Lion’s Gate Portal is the moment where the Sun in Leo is in alignment with the star Sirius\, Orion’s Belt and Earth. This happens when Sirius “rises” or becomes visible again due the Sun’s yearly passing of the star. The 8/8 of the Lion’s Gate Portal is regarded as one of the most powerful moments in the whole calendar. Much like the ancient Egyptians\, you could view the Lion’s Gate Portal as a bringer of the abundant and new. Consider it a time to break free from any habits that may be preventing us from becoming our best selves.” – Mia Steiber \nTogether // let’s call in this new abundance into our communal and personal lives.\nAll are welcome // we are a multi-generational\, culturally\, gender\, and socioeconomically diverse community.\nRemember // all the ingredients for this adventure live in your own breath\, bones\, and blood.

A thread to a memory of our interconnectedness. \nSCHEDULE:\n7P | Doors to the Lobby Open for Elixir Lounge\n8P | Music Warm-Up\n9P | Opening Circle and Facilitation by Sarah Sampson\n9:30P | Ecstatic Dance Journey w. DJ Cosmic Soup\n11:30P | Sound Bath + Closing Circle\nMidnight Lounge Opens Post-Show for Tea + Connection \nWHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE:\nWe create a space that is inspiring and uplifting; without talking\, alcohol or the nightclub scene. We encourage participants to utilize the Ecstatic Dance space as an invitation for their magical mysterious nature\, soulful somatic movement\, creative self-expression\, and heart-centered connection to self\, life and others. We hold a nonverbal\, barefoot\, alcohol-free container to keep the journey intentional and lucid. You can dance the night away and still wake up early to do awesome stuff in the world! \nADMISSION |\nTickets Available Online + at the door\n$30 :: first 30 tickets\n$40 :: until August 2nd\n$45 :: until August 8th\n$50 :: day of event \nGUIDELINES:\n1. No talking on the dance floor\n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment\n3. No photos or videos\, cellphones muted and out of sight\n4. Respect for the space and for one another\n5. Move your body however you wish!\n6. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart.)\nEverything will be explained in Opening Circle by Sarah! \nSUGGESTIONS:\n1.

SUMMARY:Radiance
DESCRIPTION:Experience the grand finale of Bruce Wood’s 14th season with Radiance\, an unforgettable showcase featuring three captivating and emotionally powerful dance performances. \n​Immerse yourself in the fiery passion of Boléro by Founder Bruce Wood\, the exhilaration of the world premiere\, Smile\, by Artistic Director/Resident Choreographer Joy Bollinger\, and the world–renowned Nine Sinatra Songs by legendary Choreographer Twyla Tharp. \n​Set to Ravel’s passionate score\, Boléro ignites the stage with its smoldering and sophisticated allure. Praised as “outrageously haughty and downright sexy” by Victoria Looseleaf of the Los Angeles Times\, this iconic dance has become a timeless classic. \n​Amplifying the excitement is Bollinger’s playful and sultry world premiere\, Smile\, set to the soulful tunes of Jon Batiste’s acclaimed album\, Hollywood Africans. Bollinger weaves a radiant tribute to the vitality of life\, drawing inspiration from ragtime\, boogie–woogie\, and classical music. \n​Twyla Tharp’s romantic\, tender\, playful\, and exuberant Nine Sinatra Songs brings the season to a spectacular close. Decked out in costumes by Oscar de la Renta\, dancers swing\, swirl\, tango\, and cha–cha through a glittering ballroom while tracing an arc of romantic relationships. Elizabeth Kendall of The New York Times said\, “Nine Sinatra Songs struck me as something rare: An American masterpiece.” \n​Radiance guarantees an electrifying performance that will captivate and uplift your spirits. \n​Join us for the post–performance Curtain Chat\, where you can engage with the artists and share your insights on this spellbinding experience.
