II. Project Summary (up to two pages): In narrative form please outline in detail the
proposed performances in the City of Miami Beach. The narrative must include specific
dates, times, venues, artists, and target audience. Include the following required attachments
behind your summary: Letters of intent from each performance venue and from all artists
appearing as guests with the applicant organization.
We are requesting funding for a dance production entitled, "The Painter - Profiles of
Flamenco Women." The program is an innovative fusion of Flamenco dance and music with
visual art presented with sophistication and artistic excellence. It will be produced from the
themes of the female Flamenco subjects of the well-known Spanish painter Julio Romero de
Torres. Flamenco is an art form that arose from a unique combination of the diverse cultures
that inhabited Andalusia, Spain for centuries: Spanish, Judaic, Arabic, and Gypsy. Romero
de Torres from Cordoba in Andalusia was particularly adept at manifesting the inner world of
emotions of his folk subjects. Romero de Torres emphasized traditional Andalusian costume
in his paintings such as the Cordoban hat, the Spanish shawl or Manton, and the fan to
immortalize the beauty of this culture. In our program, we will bring those paintings to life
along with their folklore and intense emotions through contemporary and traditional Flamenco
dance and music. The painting subjects of Romero de Torres with the titles La Chipirona,
Alegrias, La Buena Fuentuna, La Argentinita, and La Copla will serve as a backdrop and will
be projected onto a framed, screen onstage. Subsequently, dancers will mimic the painting
subject's poses in similar Flamenco costumes and then personify the emotions of love,
jealousy, and grief. These intense emotions are the base context of Romero de Torres'
painting subjects as well as in the Flamenco genre. Ballet dancer Carlos Danaan will
represent Romero de Torres. He will be the conduit through which the audience will
encounter the Flamenco dancers of Torres' paintings. The program will also feature dances
within the traditional Flamenco and Classical Spanish disciplines.
Our full-length program will last two hours and will be held at the Byron Carlyle Theatre on
May 6, 2006 at 8:00 PM. Admission is $25.00. Ten tickets will be available for Nautilus
Magnet School dance students at a price of $10.00. The first half will be "The Painter -
Profiles of Flamenco Women." The second half of our program will feature traditional and
modern dances within the Flamenco and Classical Spanish genres. The first section will last
forty-five minutes with a fifteen-minute intermission and the second half will last one hour.
The second half of our program will feature the Classical Spanish piece, Zapateado, a
revival of choreography from the 1980's with classical music by composer, "Sarasate." We
will also be presenting Sevillanas accompanied with castanets, Guajiras influenced by Cuban
music, Bulerias which will be a fusion of Flamenco and Modern dance, a duet with "bata de
colas" the long train dress by students Heloisa Hokenson and Julie Legault, as well as solos
by Clarita Filgueiras and Heloisa Hokenson. We will also be projecting images that reveal the
atmosphere and places where some of these dances originated in Spain. The second half will
be accompanied by guest artists: guitarist/singer Cristian Puig and clapping percussionist and
soloist Monica Herrera, both from New York. Percussionist Jose Moreno will also accompany
the musicians and dancers.
Clarita Filgueiras, who has performed with the Gypsy Kings as dance soloist and is lead
dancer for the New York-Madrid based Flamenco Vivo Dance Company, will perform and
choreograph the pieces. Ms. Filgueiras is a native Miamian of Spanish and Cuban parents.
The company includes professional artists and advanced level student Flamenco dancers.
FY 2005/2006 City of Miami Beach Artistic Disciplines Application
Page 3 of 3
Project Summary Page 2.
The paid guest artists are New York-based guitarist-singer Christian Puig and solo
dancer/percussionist Monica Herrera, Miami percussionist Jose Moreno who descends from
a long line of Flamenco artists, and Cuban Ballet dancer Carlos Danaan performing the
character of Julio Romero de Torres. The advanced dancers are ten Miami-based women
with origins from the United States, Spain, Central and South America, and Russia.
Our target audience is the general public, aficionados of Flamenco and Spanish dance, and
those interested in and attracted to the vibrant musical culture of Spain. Our numerous
projects in the past year have demonstrated the broad base of our audience. Our project will
reach a large and diverse segment of the community and will not only reflect the cultural
diversity of South Florida, but will also promote intercultural exchange in a unique and
accessible form. This project will broaden the appeal of Flamenco dance by illustrating it
within the context of a known, contemporaneous visual artist and as a result, the audience
will recognize Flamenco's importance as an art form. Hispanic audiences have a strong
affinity for this programming because Spain is the wellspring of their cultural heritage. Non-
Hispanics have always participated significantly being attracted to culturally diverse arts
programs and the passion of Flamenco. Our program is a excellent introduction to the arts for
children since they are strongly attracted to the rhythms of hand clapping, footwork,
castanets, and guitar as well as the colorful traditional costumes. All performances are open
to the public.
