SUMMARY:Flamenco ... at the Yardbird ... at the DJD Dance Centre
DESCRIPTION:A collaboration between Claire Marchand\, Jane Ogilvie and Rosanna Terracciano \nExperience Flamenco live and up close in an intimate evening of Flamenco dance\, guitar\, piano\, rhythm and song. \nSpanish Flamenco singer and percussionist Francisco Orozco “Yiyi” joins leading Canadian Flamenco dancers and musicians\, from across the Prairies to the west coast: Claire Marchand\, Jane Ogilvie\, Rosanna Terracciano and guitarist Peter Mole; in a dynamic collaboration not to be missed. \nFlamenco dancers Claire Marchand (Winnipeg/Vancouver)\, Jane Ogilvie (Edmonton/Calgary) and Rosanna Terracciano (Calgary) have explored their own creative trajectories since meeting years ago as emerging dancers. Now\, as established artists\, each has played an integral role in establishing a flamenco presence in Western Canada. Though their paths have crossed as artists\, colleagues and friends in many ways over the years\, post-pandemic they decided it was time to formally create a project where they would have the chance to collaborate. \nTheir first project Flamenco at the Yardbird was presented to a sold out audience in 2024 with invited guests\, Vancouver flamenco guitarist and dance accompanist Peter Mole and Spanish singer Celedonio Garrido. This year they return to the Yardbird for two nights and with a new performance\, including returning guitarist Peter Mole and new guest Spanish singer/percussionist Francisco Orozco “Yiyi”\, taking the show on the road to their hometowns of Edmonton\, Calgary and Winnipeg. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nFrancisco Orozco “Yiyi” was born in Barcelona to an Andalusian family. Trained by his flamenco singer father “Joselón de Jerez”\, he performs internationally as a flamenco singer and percussionist. \nClaire Marchand has performed across Canada and internationally. \nPeter Mole’s raw yet lyrical guitar style comes alive when accompanying dance. He recently released his debut album “La Luna y el Viento.” \nJane Ogilvie is a lifelong pianist and a 2023 recipient of the Edmonton Artist’s Trust Fund Award for dance. \nRosanna Terracciano\, winner of the 2017 Jacqueline Lemieux Prize\, has been presented throughout Canada and Europe\, including at the Bienal de Flamenco (Seville).
