Show! across the country. The A.W.A.R.D. Show! was created in response to a need for a lab-like space in which working dance artists can engage in an open dialogue with the audience about their work.

'An infectiously joyful celebration of music and dance.' -The New York Times Originally from Andalusia, the southern region of Spain, the art of flamenco developed from the interaction of the many cultures that inhabited this region for centuries. Traditional dances include the joyful Alegrias, with songs that are light and carefree in spirit; the Tangos, one of the oldest and most basic gypsy forms; and the Soleres, the essence and root of flamenco, with its themes of romantic tragedy, desolation and death. The flamenco event frequently ends por Bulerias, with a 'jam session' in which everyone engages in a friendly competition of artistry and expertise. Carlota Santana, Artistic Director and Founder of Flamenco Vivo, has been designated 'The Keeper of Flamenco' by Dance Magazine in recognition of her commitment to creating new works and developing young artists and choreographers. She has dedicated her company to the mission of building bridges between cultures, using the universal spirit of flamenco. The company was founded in 1983 by Carlota Santana and Roberto Lorca; it was their vision that new Spanish dance should not only find a permanent home in the U.S., but also an environment in which its creation and performance would thrive. Under Ms. Santana's direction, the company has expanded its repertory by presenting new music, dramatic works, and a mixture of various dance vocabularies, as well as by integrating Hispanic-American influences. Recent creations include Burlador (The Trickster), an innovative dance drama based on tales of the legendary lover Don Juan; Bailes de Ida y Vuelta, flamenco's journey through Latin America highlighting flamenco's Caribbean, Latino and Afro-Latino influences; Mano a Mano, a tribute to the bullfighter Manolete; and the contemporary flamenco story-ballet Federico, a celebration of the life of Federico Garc?a Lorca - all at The Joyce Theater in New York City, where the company performs an annual season.
