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.

Workshop Description: Join us Saturday September 26th for an online workshop focused on transitions and timing. In this workshop we’ll be exploring the transitions between sections of a dance: from letra to falseta, falseta to escobilla, escobilla to subida. We’ll take several sections and look at how to send clear signals whether you’re a guitarist, singer or dancer. Singers will work with a letra that ends in a subida, players will work with transitions from letra to falseta and dancers will work on cues and clear timing changes in footwork. Marija and Kerensa will demonstrate different types of transitions, discuss the importance of clear cues and give examples of various timing options.
Dancers who register by Wednesday September 23rd will receive a prep video that includes the dance sequences we’ll use in the workshop.
All participants will receive a practice video following the workshop with the material we cover.
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.
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.
