de(re)-construct: dance (re)-born
interactive contemporary flamenco performance
Explores the elements of tradition and flamenco, unraveled and then evolved. Each element detached and assigned to its own performance space. As the parts of the dance and music become moveable pieces, the audience helps guide the dancer to reassemble, and through her improvisation, create new work. Unpredictable and delighting in the unexpected, the new dance is like a shirt turned inside out; still identifiable as a shirt, but in a way, repurposed. And so, the audience and the dancer, will have created in live time, a thing born of flamenco but now completely transmuted.
