Five flamenco dancers and three flamenco singers perform this Friday the dance piece Acciones sencillas
The show features Blanca Paloma, Spain's representative at the last Eurovision Song Contest.
The Auditorio de Tenerife offers the dance show Acciones sencillas, by the company of Jesús Rubio Gamo. Five dancers perform in this show, accompanied by the voice, music and hand-clapping of three flamenco singers, including Blanca Paloma, Spain's representative at Eurovision 2023. This Friday (22nd) at 7:30 p.m., the Symphony Hall will host the show, which is based on the premise of "the complexity of simplicity" and closes this year's Arts and Movement Festival (FAM) programme. The tickets have a single price of 15 Euros. There are also discounts for the audience under 30 years of age, students, unemployed and large families.
Acciones sencillas (Simple Actions) dive into the genesis of dance, a force that makes you want to start dancing and moves all that comes after, helping us to learn those codes and discover how to use them. The show is a co-production with the Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Conde Duque Madrid, GREC Festival of Barcelona and Festival Romaeuropa. It has been nominated for the Best Choreography at the 2021 Critics Awards of Catalonia and the Best Lighting Design at the 2022 Max Awards.
Jesús Rubio Gamo is an independent dancer and choreographer who has been producing his creations since 1982. He studied classical ballet, contemporary dance, theatre and literature at institutions such as the Royal School of Dramatic Art (RESAD), the Mariemma Royal Conservatory of Dance (RCPDM) and the Complutense University of Madrid. He received a MAE AECID Grant (2005-2007) to undertake a Master in Choreography at the London Contemporary Dance School (The Place) which he completed earning a Distinction, and he has undertaken Masters studies in Stage Practice and Visual Culture from the UAH in collaboration with the Reina Sofía National Art Museum.
His works have been shown at festivals such as Chantiers d'Europe, Théâtre de la Ville de Paris; the Festival Brandhaarden, the International Theatre Amsterdam; the Swedish National Dance Network; the Escena Contemporánea (Madrid); Danza a escena (Spanish Theatre Network); the Lima Performing Arts Festival; Les Plateaux (La Briqueterie, Paris); the ARC for Dance (Athens); the Greenwich and Docklands International Festival of London; the Birmingham International Dance Festival; the Hay Festival (Arequipa) and the Festival RomaEuropa.
Jesús Rubio Gamo was selected for two consecutive years (2017 and 2018) by the Aerowaves Dance Network as one of the twenty most outstanding young choreographers on the current European scene. In 2020 Spanish National Radio awarded him the OJO CRÍTICO Award in the dance category. The jury valued "his artisanal approach to choreographic composition, which is evident in intimate projects when it comes to making the work dance, and in the orchestration of large groups in which he manages to combine the structure with the individuality of the performers”.
