Welcome to Marija Temo’s “Flamenco Communication Intensive” 8/27-8/30/20
This year’s intensive has been creatively designed via zoom (for all levels in dance, guitar, and singing), and will be co-taught with guest artist, Kerensa DeMars.
A specialized Interactive Workshop, created by Temo, (for Dancers, Guitarists, and Singers) on what is required from each of them to effectively communicate (interact, accompany, compliment, and improvise) with one another through a breakdown on the structure of flamenco dance and song forms. Sought after for her unique ability to teach all three of the flamenco genres (dance, guitar, and singing), Temo explains (through the use of graphic charts that she has devised) the underlying structure of complete flamenco dance and song forms, demonstrates important moments that need to be conveyed, and has participants try out the process. Her workshops were offered for 10 years consecutively at the University of New Mexico International Flamenco Festival, at the Toronto International Flamenco Festival, and reviewed in magazines such as Flamenco USA, Flamenco International (London, England), and Dance Magazine. Temo has traveled to many cities in the US offering her Communication Workshop helping flamenco communities develop their communication skills in how to work with guitarists, singers, and dancers.

WHERE: ONLINE VIA ZOOM
FEE: $65
Join us Saturday May 23rd for an online workshop focused on bulerías remates. We will explore how dancers, singers and guitarists can work most effectively together to finish musical phrases in bulerías. Dancers will work on three different remates, exploring which remates work best with which letras and how to work with the singer to finish together. Singers will learn different ways of finishing bulerías letras. Guitarists will work on different styles of accompaniment for each remate.
As always 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.
Dancers who register by May 20th will receive a prep video showing the remates we’ll be using in the workshop. All participants will receive a practice video following the workshop that breaks down the material in three sections: guitar/cante/baile, guitar/baile, cante/baile.

I am excited to inform you of the following workshop series for the month of April!
Flamenco Communication Workshop for Guitarists, Singers and Dancers
Marija Temo and Kerensa DeMars are teaming up to offer some quarantine relief, flamenco style. We will break down the steps, cante, and accompaniment for each section and talk about how the dancer, player and singer can work together most effectively. We’ll answer questions and you’ll have the opportunity to work on your own responsiveness skills. Zoom will be the platform used to give better communication options and segments of the workshop will be recorded for you to use later as practice tools.
We hope you’ll join us for this fun Saturday afternoon workshop series during the month of April. Let’s use this opportunity to deepen our flamenco knowledge and practice in new ways.
