Tablao Flamenco at Playhouse Square
by Alice Blumenfeld 13 May '19

13 May '19

********* ABREPASO Flamenco presents: *Tablao Flamenco: Del Campo* *May 18, 2019 8pm* *Kennedy’s Theatre in Playhouse Square* *Tickets: $25, general admission + service fees* http://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/tablao-flamenco-del-campo *ABREPASO Flamenco's first performance in NE Ohio, one night only at Playhouse Square, Kennedy's Theatre* Experience the captivating, fiery dynamism of flamenco! ABREPASO Flamenco and nationally acclaimed choreographer/dancer Alice Blumenfeld bring the passion of flamenco to Cleveland Saturday May 18th at Kennedy’s Theatre in Playhouse Square. A *tablao* is the most intimate and traditional place to experience the intensity and fiery emotions of flamenco, perfectly recreated in Kennedy’s cellar theatre, a venue reminiscent of rustic Spanish bodegas. *Tablao Flamenco: Del Campo* features Marija Temo (originally from Akron, OH) on guitar and vocals, Moisés López Ruiz (Sevilla, Spain) on flute, Alice Blumenfeld on dance, and Liam Smith (Oberlin) on percussion. The name *Del Campo (of the fields)* refers to the flamenco styles based on folk songs of Andalucía, and the performance will feature these styles. ABREPASO has performed at Millennium Stage at The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., The National Hispanic Cultural Center, and Blumenfeld toured nationally with the acclaimed Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana dance company. Blumenfeld recently moved to NE Ohio, and excitedly has begun to energize the flamenco scene in the area, transplanting her company from New Mexico to Ohio. This is ABREPASO’s first performance in the area, and she hopes to build appreciation for this passionate dance and music form that has been the driving force in her life. She’s putting down roots to build flamenco here in the NE Ohio community. Blumenfeld is currently a visiting assistant professor at Oberlin College & Conservatory. *“sharp and exhilarating”– Philadelphia Inquirer* *“…simply to be enjoyed—a solo that exhibits the performer’s unique presence and undeniable skill—Blumenfeld pounds her flamenco heels like the heart beating when the mind ruminates upon some torment late at night.”—Irene Hsiao, Independent Dance Reviewer* *“I noted especially Alice Blumenfeld’s fierce presence (her movements seem to arise from several feet beneath the ground)” – Thinking Dance* ************ -- *Alice Blumenfeld, MFA* visiting assistant professor of dance, Oberlin College dance artist, educator, writer artistic director, Abrepaso Flamenco www.aliceblumenfeld.com "To be alive: not just the carcass But the spark. That's crudely put, but… If we're not supposed to dance, Why all this music?" --Gregory Orr

Older Teen & Adult Cast, ages 16+ Book by Peter Stone Music and Lyrics by Sherman Edwards Based on a concept by Sherman Edwards Directed by Cory Markowitz REMAINING PERFORMANCES: MAY 16, 17, 18 & 19 THURSDAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY AT 7:30PM, SUNDAY AT 3PM CLICK HERE<http://boxoffice.printtixusa.com/nearwest/eventcalendar> TO PURCHASE TICKETS or call the Box Office M-F, 11am-4pm at 216.961.6391. Long before Hamilton, there was 1776! It’s a long, hot summer in Philadelphia, and the Continental Congress is an exhausted and quarrelsome assemblage, at each other’s throats over the burning question of independence from Great Britain. The nation is on the brink of revolution – if only our founding fathers can agree to sign the declaration! American history blazes to vivid life in this unconventional hit musical, revealing the humor and humanity behind these national icons determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation. In our modern re-shaping of this hit show, and in the spirit of our mission, casting of characters will be open to all genders, races and ethnicities.
