SHOW SYNOPSIS & details
as submitted by the artist(s)
The Soleá Project is an ongoing therapeutic arts project, digging into loss, grief, loneliness, and solitude, combining movement, poetry, and voice to express our relationship to flamenco’s soleá, and in the process re-encountering dignity.
In 2016, for Abrepaso’s first work, I danced por soleá. Just beginning to explore choreographic processes creating new movement, the work offered a much needed catharsis. Wanting to share this, I began developing workshops where flamenco and creative arts combined to create a space for expressing grief and trauma. While the workshops have been fruitful, the last stage–that of performing–has been missing. This is the first time we’re sharing the results of the creative work publicly, acknowledging the necessity of being witnessed to enact healing.
I’m so grateful to the participants in this iteration for trusting in me as facilitator, for their support of one another, and their vulnerability and openness.
