World-class review of ballet and dance.
The Flamenco Festival has been bringing Spain's greatest flamenco artists to New York City Center for twenty years. This year's two-week run saw the National Ballet of Spain, Premio Nacional de Danza winner Olga Pericet in her intimate solo piece, “La Leona,” and Gala Flamenca, highlighting dance talents Manuel Liñán, Alfonso Losa, El Yiyo, and Paula Comitre, accompanied by vocalist Sandra Carrasco. Steven Pisano photographed the festival for Fjord Review.
French choreographer Lea Tirabasso makes dense, intricate work which explores existential concerns connected with science, nature and morality. Witty, vivid and visceral, her work pushes beyond simple genres or choreographic language, creating something far richer and more complex. Her most recent piece, “In the Bushes” is part of the Edinburgh Festival this year. Fjord Review caught up with Léa Tirabasso ahead of the Summerhall run.
