Pasión y Arte

Deeply rooted in the flamenco tradition and with a stellar corps of dancers, Pasión y Arte has achieved a reputation for staging ground-breaking contemporary dances. Founded in 2000 under the artistic direction of Elba Hevia y Vaca, Pasión y Arte is an all-female company that creates and performs new works of contemporary feminist flamenco dance. Noted for highly innovative choreography and precise footwork, the company “personifies modernity,” wrote Dance Magazine, and constantly pushes the boundaries of artistic genres.

Repertoire includes El Duelo (The Wake); Poder de Una Mujer (Strength of a Woman); El Cuerpo Recuerda (The Body Remembers), featuring six female dancers; and La Lunda de Par en Par (The Moon Wide Open), which explores the female psyche through the dance experience. Complementary activities include lecture/ demonstrations, workshops and master classes in flamenco, traditional Spanish sevillanas and flamenco guitar or toque.
