Join La Chachi for a 1,5 hour workshop exploring flamenco dancing and singing. This workshop will give you a unique insight into the making of the work Taranto Aleatorio presented at STHLM DANS. All levels and backgrounds are welcome!
We immerse ourselves in the flamenco universe to bring out everything we carry inside. In choral formation we will enter the rhythm with tangos, clapping and vocal voice and jaleos… We will dance it from the minimum impulse to its maximum expression. How do we dance flamenco on the floor, and on the wall? To finish we will do a simple and fun choreography where we will reflect everything that has been practiced. Aimed at anyone who enjoys experimenting with movement.
Bring comfortable clothing and flamenco accessories if you can (shawl, fan, skirt, flowers), we will also have some accessories available.

La Chachi has earned her place in the tradition of breaking down and reassessing flamenco, following the path of other outsiders like El Niño de Elche, Israel Galván and Rocío Molina. An actress and dancer, she graduated in both disciplines in Málaga, her hometown. After specialising in flamenco with dancer La Lupi, training in physical theatre, new dramaturgy and contemporary dance, she discovered her true passion: the union of all these disciplines. María del Mar Suárez/La Chachi, is no new arrival, because she has been twisting the traditional flamenco language since 2008 to fit it to her unique style, where hybridisation is the norm. She made her first piece in 2017, La gramática de los mamíferos (The Grammar of Mammals), which received several nominations and awards. Her second work La Esperareceived support from Teatros del Canal (Madrid) and was programmed at the Teatro Central in Sevilla. Los inescalables Alpes, buscando a Currito (The Unclimbable Alps, Looking for Currito) was presented at Festival de Otoño of Madrid and in 2022 received the Godot Dance Award.
