DANCE
FROM ISREAL film by Andreas Morell (c) 2023 GERMANY

Dance
from Israel means: presence, modernity, emotion, beauty, but also
aggressiveness – and increasingly politics. In the best sense, dance is a
mirror of society.

Dance,
that comes from a country as politically and societally torn apart like Israel,
is exciting, challenging and even complex. The film explores this versatility:
Companies and choreographers speak about their experiences and rehearsals and
dance performances are visible.

Andreas
Morell – Director

Birgit
Lorbeer-Claussen – Producer

The documentary film Gurumbé discusses the erasure of slavery from history books in Spain, and the contribution to flamenco music and dance by Black communities on two sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

Admission is free but RSVP is required. Yinka Esi Graves will participate in a short discussion after the film screening.

A Través proudly presents Flamenco Black during the Atlanta Flamenco Festival. After debuting in Dallas in 2023, this special production will travel to Atlanta, where artists will perform two concerts on November 11, 2023, at Emory University Performing Arts Studio. The concerts feature live flamenco music and singing, as well as choreography by international dancers Yinka Esi Graves, Antonio Arrebola and Bridget Moore. Choreography has also been set by Artistic Director and Producer Delilah Buitròn Arrebola.

Flamenco Black combines the art of flamenco, contemporary dance, and traditions of the African Diaspora. Dances reflect African influences on flamenco in the New World. This important and little-known aspect of flamenco demonstrates – on two sides of the Atlantic Ocean – ways in which communities are connected across geography and history. It is a surprising element of flamenco, an art form that for many is synonymous with Spanish culture and its Moorish and Romani influences.

This concert is funded in part by a grant from the Georgia Council for the Arts.
