How does flamenco move when you break open its codes?

Renowned Spanish dancer and choreographer Julio Ruiz invites you into his distinctive approach to flamenco, where tradition, contemporary dance, and performance meet. This is not a regular flamenco class, but a physical exploration in which rhythm and tradition challenge the body to discover new possibilities for movement.

Working from rhythm, musicality, and physical presence, you will explore elements from Ruiz’s movement practice and investigate how flamenco can be reread and experienced from a contemporary perspective. How does the individual body relate to rhythm and tradition? Where is there room for intuition, freedom, and a physical language of your own?

After the workshop, Julio will take you behind the scenes of his latest creation, La Familia. Un cuento de Julio Ruiz (The Family. A Story by Julio Ruiz). In a short presentation and conversation, he will share his creative process and talk about how dance, literature, performance, and personal history come together in his work.
