BIOGRAPHIES REBECA ORTEGA She has it all: Beauty, a stylised and flexible body, elegance, finesse, charisma, rhythmic sense that prints a way of dancing with its own identity. Rebeca Ortega's dance defines her... - Written by Aquí Madrid Rebeca Ortega is an exceptional flamenco dancer and choreographer from Madrid, celebrated for her technical brilliance, creative innovation, and emotional depth in performance. A finalist at the prestigious Madrid Madroño Young Creators Dance Contest 2022 and nominated for Best Female Dancer at the Seville Stages Awards 2024, Rebeca has gained widespread recognition for her unique artistic voice in the flamenco world. Her formal training includes studying Classical Spanish Dance at the Seville Professional Conservatory of Dance and further honing her craft at the renowned Amor de Dios flamenco academy. These formative experiences have shaped her as a versatile artist capable of seamlessly blending traditional flamenco with contemporary influences. Rebeca's productions, including Silence Rebellion and RAÍCES, have been met with international acclaim, earning support from the Spanish embassies and touring across the globe. She has graced prestigious venues such as the Canal Theatres in Madrid or London’s Watford Palace Theatre and was featured at the prestigious 2022 Suma Flamenca Young Festival. As an ambassador for flamenco, Rebeca has performed and taught in Europe: Spain, Denmark, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium or Norway, and in diverse countries such as China, India, Ethiopia, or Azerbaijan, and a long list of countries, sharing the art form’s rich cultural legacy worldwide. She continually pushes artistic boundaries, collaborating with renowned artists across genres—highlighted by a fusion performance with PATAX blending Michael Jackson’s iconic moves with flamenco, and KALASETU, a London-based production merging flamenco with classical Indian music and dance. RAMÓN RUIZ Ramon Ruiz is UK’s leading flamenco guitarist. He shares his art and passion for flamenco with everyone who is curious, appreciating a wonderfully diverse and interesting following. Born in Granada and trained in Seville’s renowned flamenco tablao ‘Los Gallos’, by generation of world famous flamenco artists who are no longer with us, Ruiz continues developing his art from London, although Andalusia will always be his home. As a highly sought after flamenco guitarist, composer, recording artist and teacher Ramon is very busy. He is a regular guest on BBC Radio 3 along with top UK venues including The London Jazz Cafe, each time producing something new for his audience. With extraordinary dexterity and musicality in both traditional and contemporary stylistic genres, Ramón recently recorded his third album “ Calle Lunga” in Abbey Road Studio. It includes all original compositions and arrangements. Calle Lunga was inspired by Ruiz’s journey of nearly 40 years mastering flamenco guitar internationally. His music beautifully expresses complex emotion, mastery and maturity in both composition and performance. ÁFRICA GRANADOS Flamenco singer born in 1999 in San José del Valle, Cádiz, in a family with a deep-rooted flamenco tradition, she has stood out in the world of flamenco since she was 7 years old. After winning the 2nd prize for Flamenco Talent at the Naranjito de Triana Singing Contest in 2020, she obtained the Acciona Scholarship to continue her studies at the Cristina Heeren Foundation. Since then, he has shone in the most representative tablaos and stages of Seville and has toured different parts of the world, including South Africa, Germany, England, Portugal and China.

A collection of thoughts and journeys. A dialogue between different forms of knowledge. A film about dancing, working, and life itself. The Hexagonal Hive and a Mouse in a Maze explores ideas about learning in a global context. What if every thought was a movement, and every movement a thought? What is intelligence and when is it artificial? Can robots dance? Can they help our children learn how to be? How are we learning, and do we ever stop? What are the values and skills that we pass on as societies through games, crafts, stories and cinema? Connecting scenes of pedagogy, work and play in four global sites, The Hexagonal Hive and a Mouse in a Maze invites viewers to consider the mechanics of learning. We search in the cabinets of a supercomputer, in the curve of a chalked letter, in the weaving of a basket. We jump down the rabbit hole and seek counsel from researchers and public intellectuals. Curiosity and the affordances of the essay form send us grazing, observing, and thinking through film with an open heart. In The Hexagonal Hive and a Mouse in a Maze, we wonder afresh what the human spirit might yet dream up as new and improved programming for our species. Tilda Swinton's feature directorial debut.

Explore patterns of play, fantasy, support and constraint at work in families, and often reflected in other close relationships. Four contemporary artists share artworks around these themes, offering a space of reflection and potential shift. Family relationships, our experiences of play and fantasy, and the myriad ways we have been held and not held play a major part in forming us. To varying degrees, our families or broader networks contain us. Obstacles arise to being held and remembered. The rhythms of early interactions, resonating with our own tendencies, inform how we develop further close relationships. Questions of how to change these patterns may arise, as we grow and take on responsibilities ourselves. This exhibition offers newly created artwork by four contemporary artists as objects for contemplation and discussion, to embody parts of these ideas, and hold contrasting experiences in playful or imaginative ways. In visual dialogue with one another, new connections will arise between the artworks. A selection of related material (books,poems, and drawing materials) will be on hand to encourage further exploration if you wish. The discussion will be an opportunity to pose questions and raise ideas that have come up in response to the work and themes in the exhibition Participating artists: Jonny Aldous, Noor Ali Chagani, Annabel Fraser, Clio Lloyd-Jacob Information Source: Cambridge Artspace | eventbrite
