Festival de Jerez 2010
publishes the calendar of its flamenco dancing, clapping and master
class courses.Registration for the one thousand places begins on
September 1st, 2009
Learning to dance por bulerías with castanets, paying tribute to Chano
Lobato with a bata de cola por alegrías, giving free rein to creativity
in a choreography workshop or knowing how to clap in a fiesta are just a
few of the many skills which can be learnt from February 27th to March
13th at Festival de Jerez 2010. Beginning on September 1st, about one
thousand students from all over the world are called to register at this
prestigious school where studying is done both in the classrooms and in
the audience at shows.
In
addition to the incentive of receiving first-hand lessons from today’s
most reputed bailaores, pupils have tickets to the Teatro Villamarta
included and take part in midday round-tables, besides experiencing the
unique ambience in the flamenco city… even with children, since the
Flamenco Nursery once again opens its doors to them.
It is still shaping up the show schedule,
but Festival de Jerez 2010 has already released its program of courses,
workshops and master classes related to flamenco dancing. In this
fourteenth edition, the festival offers a total of 36 courses, four
clapping and compás workshops, and two master classes. In total, there
is now an offer of over one thousand places which can be applied for
beginning on September 1st, 2009, the date when registration opens.
On the course calendar, each course one
week in length and with 25 places, veteran maestros stand out such as
Matilde Coral, who offers a course in bata de cola por alegrías in
tribute to her cantaor Chano Lobato, Sevillian Manolo Marín,
Granada-born Manolete and Jerez-born Angelita Gómez. For the first time,
these lessons are joined by the master class which, with the title
‘Maestros of Jerez’, will be taught by José Parra, who was Joaquín Grilo
and Andrés Peña’s instructor.
In contrast, part of this teaching faculty
is highlighted by latest-generation bailaores like Concha Jareño, winner
of the past edition’s ‘Revelation Prize’, Mercedes Ruiz, Olga Pericet
and Manuel Liñán. Situated between both generations is that of the
instructors with now acclaimed careers such as Belén Maya, Isabel Bayón,
Rafaela Carrasco, Antonio el Pipa and Ángel Muñoz, among others. This
offer of courses by style and level (initiation, elementary,
intermediate and advanced) is joined by Javier Latorre’s new
Choreography and Technique Workshops, whose result will be presented
with an audience at the Sala Compañía. Moreover, the compás and clapping
workshops aimed at baile pupils and the public in general are being
reinforced.
Complementary services for students
With registration for each course, tickets
to the Teatro Villamarta are included for the days of that course.
Pupils also have access to the midday round-tables at the Bodega de San
Ginés, where artists personally present their shows and where books are
presented and debates are held, as well as the documentary archives of
the Centro Andaluz de Flamenco (Andalusian Flamenco Center). It takes
care of the shows of the other stages and the ambience-laden
off-festival. Aiming to facilitate the enjoyment of this complete offer,
for the second year the organization opens the Flamenco Nursery service,
which in the past edition welcomed some thirty boys and girls who were
the children of the festival’s pupils, instructors and workers.
