The Feldenkrais Method helps to clarify the full range of possibility for human movement and action by accessing the sensory motor processes of the brain which involve attention, perception, imagination and cognition. “I focused on highlighting the deeply interactive dialogue between the performers – an experience of the living moment where the space between performers, performance, improvisation and reality become blurred.”

– AMI SHULMAN, Feldenkrais Movement Specialist

Flamenco communicates beyond what words can describe and beyond what movement can say. It is the language of the soul. Duende is a graceful force and spirit in flamenco, a key to authentic performance.

Flamenco’s roots date back to the 15th century medieval Spain, where Jews, Muslims, Roma, and Christians and southern Andalusian cultures co-existed for nearly eight centuries. Cultural tolerance and dialogue between these diverse groups existed, sometimes in covert circumstances. To express themselves, through the persecution, the grief and the suffering, these cultures, with layers of transnational identity, manifested flamenco. The first thing that came was the song, unaccompanied by musicians. These were wandering peoples and they often didn’t have instruments. Their instrument was their voice, and the dancing came out of the song.
