Description
¡Flamenco! Lindsey Bourassa and FLOR
Flamenco & Its Origins (FLOR) return to Mayo Street Arts for an evening of flamenco dance and music. This is a dance-focused show featuring the FLOR flamenco community and will showcase the art form's many diverse styles and expressions accompanied by virtuosic flamenco guitarist Behzad Habibzai. This performance will also include some special guest vocal appearances from Chriss Sutherland, Brian Evans, and Meghan Habibzai!
Flamenco is an art form, a cultural tradition, and a language. As a flamenco artist, Lindsey believes that there are no shortcuts to unfolding its wonders. It takes time, dedication, patience, and love; it reveals its spirit in magical proportion to how courageously we reveal our own. Her work on all fronts is inspired by the belief that art ignites magic, cultivates connection, uplifts diverse and uncensored stories, and fosters stewardship of each other and the earth.
Artist Bio
Based in Maine, Lindsey Bourassa is a flamenco artist, choreographer, and teacher. She is the founding-director of FLOR, a flamenco nonprofit based in Maine and the driving force behind Maine’s first prominent and growing flamenco community.
She has dedicated herself to the study of flamenco since 2004, studying predominately in Sevilla, Spain with flamencos such as Miguel Vargas, Esperanza and Curro Fernandez, Carmen Ledesma, La Choni, Adela Campallo, Ursula Lopez, and Concha Jareño among many others. She has performed and taught in both Spain and the United States, through institutions such as Bates College, Mayo Street Arts, and El Centro de Arte y Flamenco de Sevilla.
Lindsey performs traditional flamenco with national and international flamenco artists. She also creates and performs contemporary-flamenco works that illustrate multimedia, multi-genre storytelling, often woven together with her own creative prose.
