Israel Galvn, a winner o
Spains prestigious National
Dance Award, opens the Joyceall season with a sensational
solo perormance that shows
why he has been called the
William Forsythe o amenco.Perorming to pulsating live
music that drives his lightning
fast footwork, Galvn embodies
a post-modern approach to
amenco that strips the art
down to its bare essence and
gives it an inspired twist. Heis seductive without trying to
be, proclaims The New York
Times, and i this is what new
amenco means, bring it on.

Soledad Barrio &Noche Flamenca
The Joyces all amenco are
continues with a dazzling week
o perormances by Bessie Awardwinner Soledad Barrio, whose
compelling artistry prompted The
New York Times to proclaim that
theres something voyeuristicand cathartic about watching
a woman pry open her soul,
scatter it on the oor and put itback together again. Hailing
rom Spain, Soledad Barrio &
Noche Flamenca, the company
she ounded in 1993 with herhusband Artistic Director Martin
Santangelo, perorm amenco in
its fnest and most authentic orm,
one that creates a true communalspirit through exuberant music,
dance, and song. There has been
no company I have been so glad
to discover as Noche Flamencaand, above all, its lead dancer,
Soledad Barrio, proclaims
Alastair Macaulay o The NewYork Times, I can think o no
current ballet star in the world as
marvelous as she.
