I am excited to inform you of the following workshop series for the month of April!
Week 1 (April 4) Will Run!
Flamenco Communication Workshop for Guitarists, Singers and Dancers
Marija Temo and Kerensa DeMars are teaming up to offer some quarantine relief, flamenco style. 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.
Week One: A Window Into the Creative Process.
In this workshop we’ll take sections of a typical Alegrias (buleria de Cadiz, salida, llamada) and explore how the guitarist, singer and dancer can best support each other. Marija and Kerensa will break down the steps, letra 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. We’ll be using Zoom to give us better communication options and segments of the workshop will be recorded for you to use later as practice tools.
To watch Marija Temo’s first, blind audition on La Voz and other video interviews and commentary from Telemundo about Marija Temo’s performance, see below:
Chicago’s Flamenco Quartet Project will be performing at Space in Evanston on Monday, March 9. We are very pleased to welcome the members of the group to the show. My guests are (pictured, left) dancer WENDY CLINARD, (center, top) violinist STEVE GIBONS, (center, below) vocalist/guitarist MARIJA TEMO, and (right) percussionist JOSE MORENO.
