Workshop Description: Join us Saturday October 24th for an online workshop about the creative process in working with falsetas. In this workshop we’ll be exploring how to approach both developing falsetas and creating movement for falsetas. We’ll look at the structure and phrasing of a Solea falseta, and discuss how to work with the quality of that falseta. We’ll also discuss how to develop a complete idea (both musically and through choreography) within a falseta. Singers will have the opportunity to work with palmas accompaniment and we’ll talk about varying our palmas to support different types of falsetas. Dancers will learn choreography and we’ll break down each part of that choreography to discuss why it works in that spot. Guitarists will receive a prep video with the complete falseta as well. Marija and Kerensa will demonstrate different styles of falsetas, discuss where you can use them and explore stylistic choices.

Flamenco Revealed is a learning series brought to you by guitarist/singer Marija Temo and dancer Kerensa DeMars. Designed for flamenco dancers, guitarists and singers, FLAMENCO REVEALED includes monthly online workshops, individual coaching sessions and an educational video series.

Each month we present a new topic and work with students on the technique and communication skills related to that topic. Previous workshops have covered such topics as: Bulerías de Cadiz, Tangos del Titi, Tientos/Tangos Transitions and Bulerías Salidas and Remates.  We break down the steps, cante, and accompaniment for each topic and talk about how the dancer, player and singer can work together most effectively. In our live workshops we answer your questions, discuss how to best support each other, act out the problem spots and illustrate how to clearly communicate with your dancer, guitarist and singer.  See sample teaching video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVYF2PHYF1s
