A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“…En Familia Matinee offers a journey through Latin American culture and traditions as Eduardo leads the audience on an interactive and fun-filled afternoon featuring excerpts of classic pieces from the Company repertory: a re-staging of Talley Beatty’s electrifying Recuerdo de Campo Amor, the flamenco-immersed Línea Recta by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, Geoffrey Holder’s Caribbean-influenced Danse Creole, and the Latin social dance extravaganza Club Havana by Pedro Ruiz. With cultural and historical content and movement exercises for the whole family, the audience is in for a performance to remember…”
En Familia Matinee Program:
- Club Havana (2000) – Cuban (Afro-Latin) dancing at its best by choreographer Pedro Ruiz.
- Danse Creole (1976) – Geoffrey Holder’s work inspired by the style and rhythms of Trinidadian dance and the influence of European colonization on the island.
- Línea Recta (2016) – From Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, this work explores an intriguing aspect of flamenco dance.
- Recuerdo de Campo Amor (1985) – Talley Beatty’s piece celebrates New York’s Latin dance halls and nightclubs with a fusion of Latin American rhythms.
