Indo-Spanish Dance and Music

The Teamwork Fine Arts Society, which promotes young artists and cultural exchanges between countries, has started up a broad range of projects in several countries in all five continents. Its experience is based on the creation, development and promotion of the contemporary performing arts, social communication and visual arts festivals all over the world and on helping talented newcomers gain a foothold in the arts scene. This year Teamwork Fine Arts Society, with the collaboration of AC/E through its mobility programme, is presenting the production and preparation of The Voice of the Body, Flamenkarnatic and various workshops on Flamenco guitar, voice and dance at the Jodhpur – Riff International Folk Festivaland Chennai Music and Dance Festival.
 
The Voice of the Body is a performance by the Spanish dancer Mónica de la Fuenteand Ravi Prasad, a musician and artistic director from Kerala, in which an invisible thread intertwines two bodies on stage that vibrate in unison. Breath becomes sound, voice and song, movement, gesture and mudra. The show explores the seed that evokes each emotion, weaving voice into body in search of the connections between voice and body. The invention of new vocal codes shapes new contemporary languages, sounds that illustrate each tension or action created by the movement of different forms of expression. Movement flows among classical codes of the performing arts of India and the spontaneous creation of others. In this space for exploring the various languages of both sound and movement, connections and unexpected encounters take place which allow the richness of each expression to be savoured and reveal the paths of cultural encounters.


Flamenkarnatic stems from the encounter and exchange between artists from India (Ravi Prasad) and Spain (Mónica de la Fuente as dancer, José Salinas as singer and Carlos Blanco on the guitar) who, rather than create a ‘collage’ of virtuosity, seek to delve into the deepest roots and find these expressions which are the ‘mothers of the dance and music of all ages’, as García Lorca stated. This concert is an intercultural journey undertaken by the gypsy tradition of Flamenco in Spain into its Indian roots along a path that returns to the south of India in an emotional encounter between Flamenco music, voices, Carnatic and Hindustani compositions and Flamenco dancing techniques.  

Workshops: A Contemporary Approach to NavarasaThe Expression of the Emotion and Improvisation through Voice and Movement with Ravi Prasad and Monica de la Fuente on expressing inner emotions through gesture and voice, and Flamenco Singing, Guitar and Palos or Rhythmic Structures with José Salinas and Carlos Blanco, which seeks to bring Flamenco art with its palos and rhythms closer to the Indian public.
