Montreal guitarist and member of the Jewish community Henry Garf takes part in this year\u2019s Vancouver International Flamenco Festival. Presented by Flamenco Rosario, the festival features live performances, with both ticketed and free events.<\/p>\n

Garf performs at the Waterfront Theatre Sept. 23, as part of Kara Miranda\u2019s company. Sombras\/Shadows<\/em> is a live music and dance presentation with projections reflecting personal experience both visually and thematically. Shadows are explored as interplay between light and dark, through the lens of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung\u2019s theories of the Shadow Self. A parallel search is for intangible shadows of the past, Miranda\u2019s ancestral roots, living in the shadow of the flamenco greats that came before and the masters that reign today and finally accepting and actualizing her shadow side.<\/p>\n

Garf also teaches a master class at the Scotiabank Dance Centre Sept. 24, with Alvaro Echanove, called Theory and Practice: Exploring the Skills of Improvisation, Dynamics and Active Listening through Palmas. Palmas<\/em> is a style of handclapping that accompanies flamenco dance.<\/p>\n

Other master classes take place Sept. 17 and 18, with Mucha Muchacha, and on Sept. 24, with Albert Hernandez. Other ticketed shows include Mucha Muchacha at the Rothstein Theatre Sept. 16. Their eponymous show started as theoretical and practical research about women artists from the \u201cGeneration of the 27th,\u201d known as Las Sinsombrero<\/em>, and evolved into a contemporary dance project focused on the ideas of empowerment, determination, voice, participation, freedom and cooperation. The performance is developed from force-driven movement, effort, celebration and physical exhaustion. They put \u201cat risk\u201d traditional Spanish dance\u2019s corporeality in a confrontation with contemporary dancing.<\/p>\n

The two other shows at the Waterfront Theatre are Anastassiia Alexander on Sept. 22, performing The Machination of Memories Suppressed<\/em>, based on the poem \u201cMaquina de Olvido,\u201d which Alexander wrote, and the performance contains elements of spoken word with dance; and Flamenco Rosario on Sept. 24, with Nuevo III<\/em>, a collection of new choreographies by Ballet Nacional de Espa\u00f1a choreographer Albert Hernandez, Granada\u2019s Sara Jimenez and Rosario Ancer.<\/p>\n

On the afternoons of Sept. 3 and 4, free performances take place on the Picnic Pavilion stage at Granville Island. The Saturday features Mozaico Flamenco, A.J. Simmons and company, Bonnie Stewart, Jhoely Triana, and Michelle Harding and Calle Verde. Performers on the Sunday are Mozaico Flamenco, Kara Wiebe, Harding and Verde, Linda Hayes, and Stewart. There is also a free 20-minute workshop on Sept. 4 for children at noon, and a 30-minute one for adults at 12:20 p.m.<\/p>\n
