"Terracciano’s work is daring. It is powerful. It is feminine. It is poetic…The sensitive balance between past and present is written all over her work."
Myriam Allard
Co-Artistic Director of La Otra Orilla (Montreal)
My folk dance of language and seed
My folk dance of language and seed brings Rosanna Terracciano (live) in duet with her mom and dad (projected on film). It explores the interplay and connection between her personal flamenco and her own cultural roots from Napoli.
Southern Spain versus Southern Italy. Different but linked histories representing themselves in her body and her ways of moving. Movement and language and gesture collide and shift—finding new ways of expression.
It is a development of an earlier work in Terracciano’s repertoire which was created with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Calgary Arts Development Authority, DJD Dance Centre Creative Residency Program (Calgary), Studio La Lola (Montréal) and ReLoCate (Calgary), and presented by Springboard Performance (Calgary)/National Arts Centre (Ottawa) online, Mile Zero Dance (Edmonton), Stream of Dance (Regina) and the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival.
