  3. Da-Da: A Contemporary Dance


"Da-Da", choreographer Augusto Soledade's latest work, is an exploration of rhythm as a cultural concept that expands to inform, inspire and connect people from various cultures. Soledade feels that the sense of Afro-Brazilian rhythm that he has and the rhythms in Flamenco music and dance are representations of cultural aesthetics specific to those who practice, adopt and reproduce these forms, and will be linked together in how he chooses to re-interpret them in this new work, promoting a hybrid cultural aesthetic.

Soledade's interest in Flamenco is in part a response to his life in Miami. It is attractive to him as an aesthetic form that represents a rich cultural practice with a deep history, which has influenced music and dance the world over through its rhythmic structures. He also selected it to create a challenge in his creative process, as he considers himself a novice in the form. It is an opportunity to deconstruct specific rhythms without the restraints of a traditional practice.

As a contemporary choreographer, Soledade feels that his role is to seek innovative projects that create fresh content and outlook on global life. Through his creative process, Augusto Soledade will generate unexpected parallels between his rhythmic heritage and other world rhythms.

In "Da-Da", Flamenco music and dance, and Dadaism act as lenses to filter and expand artistic ideas beyond Soledade's personal experience, but are not intended to be authentically reproduced in the final work.
