An experience that ignites the senses with the grace of Flamenco.
Bandaluzia Flamenco presents a spectacular new show that showcases contemporary flamenco dance and music whilst displaying the essential characteristics of the flamenco tradition. A journey through this unique and incredible art-form by some of Australia's most revered flamenco artists.
The contemporary aspects come naturally, as we are from a generation that had access to a wide variety of influences including jazz, classical, Arabic, and Latin, as well as contemporary dance, and we will often reference these influences in a way that is organic and enhances our performance and makes it personal and unique.
For the audience flamenco presents more than listening to music and dance, it's the feeling of sharing the experience, receiving the artists expression and connecting this to your own experiences. Performed well flamenco can be transcending moment for all.
Bandaluzia will mix elements of other genres into their performances, whether being the rich harmonies of Jazz, the exotic melodies of the Orient or the infectious rhythms of South America. An experience that ignites the senses with the grace of Flamenco.
