‘Lorca in a Green Dress’ with Teatro Bravo!
January 13, 2012
I’m so proud to be included with a talented cast of actors in the fabulous theater production of ‘Lorca in a Green Dress’ presented by Teatro Bravo! The play is based on the life of Federico Garcia Lorca after his assassination, where he finds himself in his own Purgatory Room, facing his own memories, fears, dreams, characters, poetry and questions from his own life. The plays surreal nature is heightened by the Flamenco Dancer, who moves to the rhythm of her feet.

Here are some images via my flickr page: Some of my time at the Musical Instrument Museum. I taught Flamenco Music & Dance Classes to kids with Chris Burton Jacome. As you can see, some parents jumped in and learned some Sevillanas as well!
Other images are from my time in Ashland, Oregon as I taught a 3-day flamenco dance workshop in conjunction to a performance with the CBJ Flamenco Ensemble and Ashland-based, Flamenco Duo at Southern Oregon University.
Other images are from my Flamenco! Coffee Table Book and from Sergio Photographer as he shot images during a one day rehearsal and performance at The Chandler Center for the Arts.
Other images are from the Rhythm and Roots Series based in Tucson of the CBJ Flamenco Ensemble’s time at Plaza Palomino taken by photographer Bob Block.

I’ve received so many inquiries and compliments regarding the Flamenco! Coffee Table Book, so I wanted to share with all of you the graphic designer genius that put together some of my ideas and literally created an outstanding work of art which in my humble opinion is unparalleled creativity and design mastery. I highly recommend Heath Cox of Cox Studios Inc to anyone in need of graphic design or exhibit design work. I can’t say enough great things about Heath. He’s a very patient, highly detailed and extremely artistic graphic designer with great integrity. Visit his website at www.coxstudiosinc.com
