| Ana Morales with David Coria |
In Reunión,
Ana Morales teams up with guest artist David Coria- forging a partnership of
two of the most celebrated and exciting flamenco performers dancing on world
stages today. Both extraordinary dancers hail from the cradle of flamenco, Seville, where this unique
form of dance, music and life was born in the streets to become one of the most
celebrated forms of folk art worldwide.
With a team of outstanding musicians, Reunión conveys the passion of
flamenco with determination and artistry through a vigorous and exciting
journey across the different palos-
flamenco’s rich range of rhythmic styles- that will exhibit the culture and
spirit of the Andalucian art form.
Morales and Coria are joined on stage by singers
Miguel Ortega and Juan Jose Amador and guitarist Miguel Angel Cortes. Lighting
design is by Florencio Ortiz and sound by Fali Pipio.
Ana Morales is from Seville and started training
at the age of 16. On stage, Morales has accompanied Eva Yerbabuena, Javier la
Torre, Andrés Marín and Javier Barón among others. She danced in Carlos Saura’s
film Iberia
(2005) and in 2009 was awarded the prestigious first prize for flamenco dance
at the Festival Internacional del Cante de las Minas in La Union. Morales
received critical acclaim performing alongside Belén Maya in Los Invitados, which opened the 5th
edition of the Dutch Flamenco Biennial in 2015. She divides her time between
her own shows and her role as a soloist in the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía
directed by Rafaela Carrasco.
David Coria also from Seville, studied at the
Conservatorio de Sevilla and continued with teachers such as José Granero, Aída
Gómez, José Antonio, Ana María Bueno and Eva Yerbabuena. At the age of 15 he
was selected by the school of Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía and went on to join
Ballet Nacional de España. In 2010 he premiered his own show in Madrid resulting in the Best
Dancer award by the German magazine Tanz. He continues
to perform as a guest artist and is a guest teacher at the Real Conservatorio
de Danza de Madrid.
Flamenco Edition is the brainchild of
Birmingham-based flamenco artist, teacher, choreographer and producer, Ana
Garcia. She has been part of the flamenco industry in the UK and Spain for 25 years
and has a vast amount of experience and passion for flamenco. Flamenco Edition aims to engage audiences
outside of London
through small-scale productions with the focus on intimacy and authenticity at
the centre of each presentation.
Flamenco Edition 2015, 2016 and 2017 has been
kindly supported using public funding by Arts Council England. Instituto
Cervantes Manchester supports Flamenco Edition in 2017.
Irene Lezertua, Press Officer, Instituto Cervantes
Manchester, said "Instituto
Cervantes Manchester is delighted to announce its collaboration with Flamenco Edition 2017.
This is the second time we have had the pleasure of supporting this exciting
event and its director, Ana García. We look forward to welcoming the Flamenco
Edition artists and musicians, as Ana Morales Company and guest dancer David Coria,
and Flamenco Edition, bring the very best of Spanish culture to the UK."
