Las Mujeronas - Work in Progress Studio Showing with Jhoely Triana Flamenco

Come see Jhoely Triana Flamenco's new work in progress and better understand the creation process. Join us for a performance featuring 4 dancers, an artist talk back session to ask questions and a short easy-to-follow community dance to end the session.

Las Mujeronas [lass moo hair OWN us]. We are fierce, confident, trail-blazing women moving through struggles, rebuilding our lives, finding our voices and creating our identities, dreams and passions. This work features Flamenco Latinas in Canada exploring our immigrant identities and connecting to our home cultures through the art form of flamenco. Using flamenco elements, such as the song forms of Ida y Vuelta ([EEda e voo-ELlta] “going and coming”), which embody the intercultural influences of the Americas on flamenco, we explore how migration influences our lives. Las Mujeronas incorporates flamenco dance, poetry, singing and storytelling.
