Mira los Ruidos

Israel Galván
March 20 2025, 3.00pm
Free participation upon registration Running time: 2 hours
On the occasion of the performance RI TE, presented in its Italian premiere at FOG, Israel Galván leads a workshop aimed at professional dancers, beginners, or anyone simply curious about approaching dance:
"I believe that every person has their own dance because each individual has a specific body memory that is expressed in their daily and personal gestures. Memory is something that has always accompanied human beings and informs the way we operate and think. This memory can be organized into paper archives, digital archives, and mental archives. The body also has its own archive, which is very primitive. In my workshops, I try to create new movements with all participants by ‘fishing’ from their individual archives. It's not about creating a choreography or steps, but about learning to ‘steal’ from ourselves. Those who are more accustomed to dancing can learn from non-dancers, and non-dancers can discover a new, previously hidden personality within themselves. By working with our rhythms, learning to be our own musicians, we invent new forms and a new dance."
Israel Galván was born in Seville into a family of artists: both his father, José Galván, and mother, Eugenia de los Reyes, are dancers. He trained in classical flamenco, but from his first creation, ¡Mira ! / Los zapatos rojos (1998), he paved the way for a manifesto for a new spirit of flamenco dance. He recodes the physical language of flamenco, using not only modes of expression genealogically close to it, such as bullfighting, but also performative aspects of other popular culture rituals, from soccer to activism and crossdressing. Each of his creations is a milestone in his pursuit of a dance that seeks to free itself from certain characteristics inherited from a flamenco set in stone. He has received prestigious awards such as the Premio Nacional de Danza, the Bessie Performance Award, and the National Dance Award for Exceptional Artistry. In 2016 he received the title of Officier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in France. In addition, he is among the stars of the Netflix docuseries Move and is an associate artist of the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris.
