La Rubia Productions Presents Herencia Flamenca
2014-05-31 19:30 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
Experience the thunderous, soulful and expressive dance that originated in the Andalusia region of southern Spain.
Spontaneous, authentic and impassioned – raw emotion is on tap this spring when ‘Herencia Flamenca’ returns with a full line-up of artists from the heartland of Spain for two shows only at the Alex Theatre Saturday, May 31, at 7:30 pm and Sunday, June 1, 2014 at 2:30 pm.
The company’s unrestrained energy, raw emotion and commanding virtuosity have elicited overwhelming responses from international audiences and reviewers alike. This dynamic company represents the finest of traditional and contemporary trends in flamenco.
This year’s line-up includes two elegant and refined yet explosive dancers, Barcelona-born Yolanda Arroyo, and, making her U.S debut, Dolores Gimenez. Each dancer brings her own innovative choreography to challenge and honor traditional flamenco expression. Stunning costumes and rapid-fire footwork are punctuated by moments of stillness throughout the two-hour program. With expressive hands and fiery feet, both command a full range of emotional intensity. The bailaoras will share the stage in a virtuosic display of styles from the Gypsy roots of flamenco innovations.
For all of these artists, Flamenco is a deeply rooted tradition, and what they bring to the stage is nourished by those who came before them. Cordoba-born Flamenco guitarist Paco Arroyo spearheads this program of original music. A gifted guitarist, Paco skillfully delivers attack and grace, combining his natural sense of modern Flamenco with traditional forms. Veteran guitarist Fernando Mejias joins Paco with his own expressive style and impressive technique.
This powerful collaboration includes singer Vicente Gelo direct from Sevilla. This superstar vocalist from Spain returns to Glendale’s Alex Theatre for the first time since his 2010 debut. Gelo will be joined by Madrid-based cantaora Sonia Berbel, a singer of immense rhythmic style and sensitivity. Together these two will fill the auditorium with their powerful cante.
The cast will be joined by a ‘fiestero’ (a special saucy flamenco singer who mixes styles) and percussion to provide explosive rhythmic strength and inspiration for all.
This powerhouse of inspired flamenco returns to its roots, providing audiences with a rare chance to witness fierce, blazing renditions of flamenco puro on stage and experience a dynamic vision of a life of pride, passion, honor, sorrow, and love.

Crusades of Cesar Chavez
2014-05-28 19:00 - 20:30 | Downtown Central Library, 222 E. Harvard St., Glendale, CA, 91205, United States
Cesar Chavez founded a labor union, launched a movement, and inspired a generation. He rose from migrant worker to national icon, becoming one of the great charismatic leaders of the 20th century. Two decades after his death, Chavez remains the most significant Latino leader in US history.
In the first comprehensive biography of Chavez, Miriam Pawel offers a searching yet empathetic portrayal. Chavez emerges here as a visionary figure with tragic flaws; a brilliant strategist who sometimes stumbled; and a canny, streetwise organizer whose pragmatism was often at odds with his elusive, soaring dreams. He was an experimental thinker with eclectic passions—an avid, self-educated historian and a disciple of Gandhian non-violent protest. Drawing on thousands of documents and scores of interviews, this superbly written life deepens our understanding of one of Chavez’s most salient qualities: his profound humanity.
Pawel traces Chavez’s remarkable career as he conceived strategies that empowered the poor and vanquished California’s powerful agriculture industry, and his later shift from inspirational leadership to a cult of personality, with tragic consequences for the union he had built. The Crusades of Cesar Chavez reveals how this most unlikely American hero ignited one of the great social movements of our time.
Miriam Pawel is a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist who spent twenty-five years as a reporter and editor at Newsday and the LA Times before becoming an author and independent historian. She is the author of The Union of Their Dreams: Power, Hope, and Struggle in Cesar Chavez’s Farm Worker Movement. This event is cosponsored by the Glendale Latino Association.
