Event Description
Rosario Toledo’s groundbreaking artistry subverts gender roles, incorporates elements of theater and other dance forms, and is heavily infused with humor. In 2012, Toledo won the prize for “Best Show” at Sevilla’s Bienal de Flamenco. She is creating a new work, “Tapas,” with Philadelphia modern dancers Eun Jung Choi and Meg Foley and tap dance master Germaine Ingram which will premiere on Thursday, March 6 through March 8th in the Drexel Dance Studio on the 4th floor of Drexel's Main Building.
The centerpiece of the 2014 Philadelphia Flamenco Festival will be two performances by Israel Galvin, two performances by Pastora Galvin, and four performances of works by emerging superstar Toledo, including her new work “Tapas.” The sixteen-day festival is rich with opportunities for everyone from flamenco aficionados to first-time audiences with a wealth of activities including master dance classes, film screenings, and lectures and panel discussions on the changing landscape of flamenco.
