Contemporary Flamenco. Israel Galvan was born into flamenco and has gone on to extend the flamenco form with his innovative choreography and breathtaking dancing technique. One critic wrote, 'Israel Galv?n doesn't dance flamenco, he reinvents it'. Considered a genius of his generation, the "William Forsythe of flamenco" Israel Galván is celebrated for his astonishingly complicated and fast footwork. With a deep knowledge of traditional flamenco, Galván updates the dance with a unique avant-garde twist - transforming it for the 21st century. He has won many of flamenco's most prestigious awards including Spain's National Dance Prize. In La Edad de Oro, he is joined by guitarist Alfredo Lagos and singer David Lagos.| 9 Feb 11 | Sadler's Wells Theatre Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
