ENSEMBLE ESPAÑOL SPANISH DANCE THEATER Ecos De España (Echoes of Spain) The inexhaustible vitality and distinctly individual qualities of Spanish folk music, with all its rhythms and colors, have fascinated composers in Europe and worldwide throughout the 20th century. Ensemble Espanol� founder Dame Libby Komaiko was inspired by paintings from Francisco de Goya’s “Black Period” and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s musical creations. The celebrated Russian composer and music teacher Rimsky-Korsakov is famous for his popular symphonic suites and imaginative blend of orchestral sounds. Choreography and Lighting Design (1983): Dame Libby Komaiko Choreographic Collaboration: Edo (Fandango Asturiano) Costume Design: Dame Libby Komaiko (original Scene y Cante Gitano costumes), Christine Fransen (original Fandango Asturiano costumes) Note: For this tribute, costume designs and construction are by Paco Alonso. Dancers: Company Music: Capriccio Espagnol, Op. 34, Scene y Cante Gitano (fourth movement), and Fandango Asturiano (fifth movement) by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) Deshojando Flores (Stripping Petals) The theme of this work is inspired by the corrida de toros (running of the bulls), portrayed in the dance style known as zapateado (dance of the shoe). The choreographers would like to give a special thank you to Paloma Gomez and Luis Lorente. 2 | ENSEMBLE ESPAÑOL SPANISH DANCE THEATER + CERQUA RIVERA DANCE THEATRE | OCTOBER 4, 2019 PROGRAM Section 1: Zapateado Lighting Design: Dustin Derry Choreographers and Dancers (2014): Crystal Ruiz, Principal Dancer and Olivia Serrano, Soloist Choreography Collaboration: Crystal Ruiz, Principal Dancer Music: Oriente Mediterráneo (Zapateado) by Vicente Amigo Una Obra De Arte (A Work of Art) This rhythmical dance, in the compass (rhythm) of four, is in the flamenco Farruca style.

According to this East Asian legend, we are destined to connect with one another via this magical red cord from the lunar gods. We are connected regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. Carlos Rodriguez dedicates this ballet to Dame Libby Komaiko for her love, passion, and dedication to the art form of Spanish dance, music, arts, culture and education. “Gracias, Dama Libby, de todo corazón (wholeheartedly) for connecting us all.” – Carlos Rodriguez Choreographer (2018): Carlos Rodriguez Costume Design: Carlos Rodriguez and Paloma Gomez Lighting Design: Luis Perdiguero Sound Editor: Javier Saume-Mazzei Dancers: Company Music: Nicholas Britell, Ketama, and Rao Kyao Azabache (World Premiere) Azabache is a dance in the Alegrias de Cádiz flamenco style.

Solo Choreographer, Dancer, and Costume Design (2019): Claudia Pizarro, First Dancer Lighting Design: Dustin Derry Music: Paco Fonta, David Chiriboga, Patricia Ortega, Javier Saume Mazzei, Zara Zaharieva Pasion Oculta (Hidden Passion) This flamenco contemporary work, set on five couples of Ensemble Español Company dancers by artistic director Irma Suárez Ruíz portrays the hidden passions of love and desire. Ruíz has set this sensual new work to two songs by the all-female electronic string quartet Escala. “Tormented by his hidden passion, her being is brought to life in every corner of his heart, mind and soul.” – Irma Suárez Ruíz Choreography and Costume Design (2019): Irma Suárez Ruíz, Artistic Director Costume Production: Luz Creations and Tanya Tailor Lighting Design: Dustin Derry Dancers: José Torres, First Dancer; Crystal Ruiz, Olivia Serrano, Monica Saucedo, Juan Carlos Castellon, Principal Dancers; Amanda Saucedo, Frida Medina, Luis Beltran, Jonathan Pacheco, Company Dancers; Matt Jalac, Company Apprentice Music: “Requiem for a Tower” and “Palladio” by Escala OCTOBER 4, 2019 | ENSEMBLE ESPAÑOL SPANISH DANCE THEATER + CERQUA RIVERA DANCE THEATRE | 3 PROGRAM/ABOUT CERQUA RIVERA DANCE THEATRE Duende Gitana (Gyspy Soul) Dancer, Choreographer, and Costume Designer (2010): Irma Suárez Ruíz, Artistic Director Costume Production: Luz Creations Lighting Design: Elias Morales Flamenco Singer: Paco Fonta Percussionist: Javier Saume-Mazzei Triana Inspired by the province of Triana, located on the east bank of the Guadalquivir River in the city of Seville, Barrios sets this festive Flamenco Tangos finale in honor of the beloved Dame Libby Komaiko. “I dedicate this work to Dama Libby for her life’s love, mission, dedication, and devotion to all that is Spanish dance, music, art, and culture. Gracias, Dama Libby, with love and admiration.” — José Barrios Choreography (2019): José Barrios Costume Design: Irma Suárez Ruíz, José Barrios, and Dancers Lighting Design: Dustin Derry Dancers: Company Music: Paco Fonta, David Chiriboga, Patricia Ortega, Javier Saume-Mazzei, Zara Zaharieva ABOUT CERQUA RIVERA DANCE THEATRE Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre was founded in 1999 by Joe Cerqua, composer and musician; Wilfredo Rivera, choreographer and dancer; and Matt Lamb, painter. The founding mission — to fuse music, dance, and visual art to explore and celebrate contemporary American society — remains the company’s driving force today. Cerqua Rivera’s art grows from collaborations among composers and musicians, choreographers and dancers, and visual artists, where the art forms are combined in cohesive performance pieces. Their performances are theatrical and thoughtful, vivacious and exuberant. The company’s work is rooted in its founders’ vision of what art can do — gather people to contemplate factors that knit our community together and differences that add strength and complexity to our society. Every year, Cerqua Rivera’s diverse collective of artists makes new multi-disciplinary performance pieces that combine dance, music, and visual art. Each piece is strongly rooted in a narrative crafted by a choreographer. The work is shaped and brought to life by a wide group of collaborators, including a composer, dancers, musicians, and others, ranging from costume and projection designers to poets and actors. As the company celebrates #CRDT20th in 2019 — its 20th anniversary — they demonstrate the values that have shaped Cerqua Rivera over two decades: commitments to high artistic standards, to connecting deeply with audiences, and to reflecting and celebrating the diversity of its hometown of Chicago. ARTISTIC AND EXECUTIVE LEADERS JOE CERQUA (Cofounder and Composer) is an award-winning composer, producer, vocalist, and sound designer. Cerqua has composed and designed sound for over 300 productions, both nationally and internationally. He has created original music and done sound design for theatres and companies including Steppenwolf Theatre, Goodman Theatre, American Players Theater, Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Asolo Theater, the Alliance, Mark Taper Forum, Geva Theater, Deaf West Theatre, Northlight Theatre, Skyline Opera, Cleveland Playhouse, Clarence Brown Theatre, Forward Theatre, Kansas City Repertory Theatre, Indiana Repertory Theatre, Berkshire Theatre Festival, Shakespeare &
