The Flame Foundation (Dallas, TX) invited me to develop a fusion of tap & flamenco dance, set to the original jazz-rock-flamenco music by Black British flamenco artist Esther Weekes - and with Weekes' collaboration - to be presented in the Cara Mía Festival in Dallas, TX, on Oct. 10-14, 2024. Answering research questions connected to the Black Atlantic, the new work places flamenco in contemporary dance, propelling the art form and my personal work out of a niche and into a greater arts scene.
