Denise Holt presents credentials to HM The King of Spain Dear Members, I am so delighted to be the new Chairman of the Anglo- Spanish Society. I’ve been in love with Spain since the time, long ago, when I studied for A levels at New Hall School in Chelmsford. Amazingly, it now seems that New Hall is where Catherine of Aragon gave birth to Mary Tudor. What an irresistible legacy and challenge to someone who has spent much of her adult life working to promote mutual understanding between the United Kingdom and Spain! At New Hall I fell in love with Spanish language and litera- ture. I went on to read Spanish, French and Politics at Bristol University, which gave me some fascinating insights into the politics and history of Spain, a great preparation for my first job in the Foreign Office . In fact, I joined the Foreign Office at birth, and spent my childhood travelling the world with my parents. Strangely, none of our postings took us to a Spanish speaking country. I entered the Diplomatic Service in my own right in 1970, as Research Analyst for Iberia - an extraordinary vantage point from which I followed Spain’s transition to democracy with bated breath. After 1984, I moved on to become a generalist diplomat. Overseas postings included Ireland (twice), Brazil and a thrill- ing three years as Ambassador to Mexico, as well as a number of fascinating jobs in London. The highlight of my career 4 for your diary – obviously – was my appointment as Ambassador to Spain.

  • ENG.Dossier Tranç
    GELABERT AZZOPARDI companyia de dansa i Present TRANÇ Tranç is a show directed by Cesc Gelabert and filmmaker Isaki Lacuesta. Gelabert himself is in charge of the stage performance, together with dancers Roser López Espinosa and Lorena Nogal. A group of young dance students are to take part in this production and complete the cast. Metamorphosis, transfigurations, and time machines: a dancer starts to turn centuries ago and the turning ends up in a present-day body. A choreographic phrase that crosses time, connecting dancers of different generations. Tranç aims to show dance as a continual gesture transmitted by the maestros of the past and inherited by today’s choreographers, who embody it and transform it to obtain a new variation every time. A play of ever-distorting mirrors. Tranç combines echoes from the past and splits from the present onstage; live dancers with images projected onto transparent acrylic glass sheets: evocations of figures from our history (Carmen Amaya, Vicente Escudero, Joan Magriñá, La Maña, Rosita Mauri, Tórtola Valencia), living maestros (Yiya Diaz, Anna Maleras, Albert Sans), and fleeting projections of flashes of movement from some of our contemporaries (Marta Carrasco, Andres Corchero, Àngels Margarit, Maria Muñoz, Thomas Noone and Sol Picó). Phantasmagorias that will serve as a preamble to the bodies of the dancers who will give a live performance of this game of translations and betrayals, of gestures transmitted from creator to creator.

  • The Original Festival Flamenco Gitano 1965
    THE ORIGINAL FESTIVAL FLAMENCO GITANO 1965 THE ORIGINAL FESTVAL FLAMENCO GITANO 1965 EMO 9301-2 LC 5774 German Release Date: July 1, 1993 The authentic Spanish Flamenco art is artistically the richest. and liveliest folk-music in Europe. For some reason, although not lacking in popularity, this is less well known in the greater part of Europe. There are several reasons for its comparitive obscurity and they call to mind the situation of Blues in America before its "discovery" in Europe: confusion of concepts and standards, mixing with popular fashions in music, cabaret and night-clubs. Most of those activities do not display the true Flamenco art. The desire to open the door to a wider understanding of the Flamenco art and its artists and to make known the music which has inspired a wide range of contemporary music and especially Jazz, led to the resolve to call exclusively upon those who formed this art, and who preserve its essential nature in the closed circles of their own communities: the GITANOS, the Spanish Gipsies. Federico Garcia Lorca said: "... these people have united the most ancient elements of our country with the oldest they brought with them to Andalusia, and given the definite form to what we call the CANTE JONDO. They are the soul of our soul...." THE FLAMENCO IS THE BLUES OF EUROPE. Both have strong African roots and both were created and kept alive over the century by depressed minorities. In November 1965, Lippmann and Rau, the organizers of the American Folk Blues Festival, followed this successful event with the Festival Flamenco Gitano.

    INTERVIEW · Cinema Comparat/ive Cinema · Vol. V · Núm 10 · 2017 · 46-53 White Gypsies: An interview with Eva Woods Peiró María Adell ABSTRACT KEYWORDS This interview with Eva Woods Peiró, a scholar specializing in Spanish Cinema, actress, star, stardom, folklórica, musical film, Hispanic Studies, mainly addresses the issues present in her gender, race, Imperio Argentina, Raquel Meller. book White Gypsies: Race and Stardom in Spanish Musicals. The book studies some of the most important female stars of Spanish ‘folkloric’ musical cinema from the 1920s to the 1940s, using a transversal perspective that deals with themes of stardom, gender and, above all, race. Woods Peiró analyzes folklórica stars like Raquel Meller and Imperio Argentina, white female stars who gained huge popularity performing female Roma characters on screen. Studying these ‘white gypsies’ allows Woods Peiró to approach issues rarely addressed in the historiography of Spanish cinema: from the filmic representation of race and gender to the idea of stardom as a narrative of social ascent. The author concludes that these figures, while favoring a national discourse of non-problematic racial assimilation, also contained within them a transgressive component by the fact that they portrayed mestizo characters in extremely popular films. 46 Cinema Comparat/ive Cinema · Vol. V · No 10 · 2017 WHITE GYPSIES: AN INTERVIEW WITH EVA WOODS PEIRÓ Eva Woods Peiró is an Hispanist from Valencian descent based en rama (Eduardo García Maroto, 1943). in New York whose interest in popular Spanish folklóricas such as Raquel Meller, Imperio Argentina or Concha Piquer focuses Some years ago, along with another colleagues I started a in the way in which these stars channeled the racial identity of project of Oral History of the Spanish Cinema2 of the 40s the female and male spectators of the Spanish cinema between and 50s.
