Fall Workshop Series

 

In case you were wondering

At last few days I was updating less than my usual. I hope it wasn't too bad... I missed it and it looked to me that I do my job well. But there was a reason for it. I found out recently about photography workshops that includes dancing photography. So, I'm also a photographer. It's a long story why didn't I took some decent photos at flamenco shows that I went to until now.

This week I went to Suzanne Dellal to take a part at this workshop. This time I've been at the audience. All the audience made made from few photographers. We received a talk with two dancers about upcoming shows. Both before premier. They were talking about the dance photography that I like. It wasn't flamenco, this workshop went on modern style (which I love as well, but know a little less and never learned dancing. Maybe I should learn as well and know better). The dancer were Daphna Noy who still work on a new solo show of hers. She almost finish the work on it and the premier will be soon at Jerusalem. The second was Naama Tamir from the dance company of Idan Cohen. They about to perform with an opera. An opera group (can't remember which) was looking for a dance part for a new production. Idan Cohen's company has been chosen for it. The premier will be at 2016 at the USA. 

After the conversation - Daphna Noy danced for us 15 minutes from her upcoming show. 
Idan Cohen's company showed a part which is closer for an hour from the upcoming opera production. Not all of my photos went well, but some amazed even me that I took those photos. And I had many of them. Few days I was busy looking at the photos, choosing the good ones, uploading to Facebook and to another blog which I opened after this one. A blog which isn't only flamenco, a blog of my photography. 

I finished my task. Now I cab think of some other things as well. I hope that soon I will be back for full work.

Thanking

This time - instead of remind some information - I want to thank again the readers.
I'm amazed that recently there is a fast growing up of readers, although always were readers and it always grew up. Thank you for the attention you give. Thanks again for those who share links of the blog at Facebook. Thanks for those who were happy to find out here the information with connection to them (their own shows or workshops and those who host workshops at their studios) and thanks me for that. I'm glad that there are some like that, NOT only one  - it were some so far (just one who didn't like it although it served her well at the start). 

Wish you a great weekend and a lot of flamenco.

Farruquito at the USA

Three years

Three years ago I started to write this blog. Three years...25th July 201. It was few days before end of year show with the studio of Neta, weeks before the third workshop I took since I started dancing.

Three intensive years. Not only that I started to write (a lot) here - I took so many classes at the studio of Neta, took so many other workshops since, went to fiestas, went to see so many shows, performed myself, found out about flamenco artists which were new to me, made better connections with flamenco people - professionals and lovers, started to learn at the studio of Mijal as well - almost a year ago and took two studios at the same year... So, I guess this is one of the reasons why does it become a little difficult for me to write about the "regular classes" from time to time. This intensive time and the the reason it takes me a lot of time to write it all. 

And now, I find myself one week before one more more end of year show with the studio of Neta. It will take a part next Friday. By this show I will finish my 8 year with Neta and dancing flamenco and will start my second year at the studio of Mijal. As it looks like - next year will be an end for 8 years in my life. I won't go again to the studio of Neta. I still don't know myself if it's only a brake of one year, or maybe I'm taking now the very last classes at her studio. This  decision was a bit difficult, but I do it peaceful. Maybe it's time to let go. I learned a lot from Neta and I respect her for that, but it has been 8 years which looked for both of us much longer. And it isn't that I stop dancing - I just move to dance in another studio which challenge me. It isn't that I cut my connections - she will stay a Facebook friend of mine. And the person which I love the most from this studio (Ilan) started dancing at the other studio even before I did. I still see him there once a week, and I still keep on touch with him even without seeing each other at the studio. 

And today I celebrate those last three years (with a big hope for many more) by going to the cinematheque of Tel Aviv. Few more hours I will see there Carmen of Carlos Saura and Antonio Gades. I think that the best way to celebrate flamenco is by having some more flamenco. I didn't even notice the symbolic thing when I ordered the ticket, just wanted to see this movie on a big cinema screen. Turned out well. 

And after those years - I see this blog is getting bigger. It become easier for me to tell things, even though I don't have enough energy to write after every class and do it weekly last time. I still have the stories of this week...  I notice how much bigger it become with audience of readers. I know about some who read it a lot. I know someone who write me when she has workshops at her studio (which is great), another blogger wrote for me posts at his blog, I receive some wonderful comments - here and personally - all shows that the readers are are interested in having information (looks like I've been blessed in wise readers), some people shared links for this blog at Facebook, and the I see that people all over the world gets in as I wished for, even from placed I didn't dare to think it will come for. 

I thank you all for being here, reading it, taking a part in my life - even if I don't know you, and of course -  taking a part in this art called "flamenco", no matter if you do it or rather enjoy it without the making.

And again - few changes since last time I wrote the list of 10 states which gets into the blog the most, so...:

USA - 79296
Russia - 30015
Israel - 18324
Germany - 9701
Spain - 8297
France - 4784
Ukraine - 2375
Italy - 1712
UK - 1302
China - 1027

Yes, I know, still a bit humble, but it's only 10 states, only three years and not about the subjects which magnetized more readers. Still growing. I thank you all again - if you're at one of those state or not. For more years and more flamenco

Once again, at this mess

Still have the weekly stories, still under stress, meant to be one more class which didn't happen at the end, meant to be more peaceful now.... All stories will come. I need a little time to relax, think, have some time and tell it on the best way I can. All I tell is true, just need some time for it, now also some energy. 

Till all stories will come - I want to stop for a moment again. I want to thank all of you. OK, so this blog isn't huge as it could be if I wrote about food, fashion, gossip or anything like this, but... This blog still have it own great readers. And looks like even though it takes some time - it grows bigger and bigger all the time. And all those who helps me to share it, write me comments here or at private which gives a lot of energy to go on, although sometimes lately I need some energy to write about the regular classes (mostly because I have so many of them, even that I enjoy almost every moment - the writing about it takes a lot of time and could make me so tired). 

I hope this blog is useful for all of you - the readers. I hope you find from time to time some shows or workshops which you can find as interesting and you can go for it. I hope that when I write about shows and workshops that I go to, when I find the energy to write about regular classes you find it interesting just because of something in it. I hope that it helps to promote flamenco even in a bit. I know someone who thinks that she's promoting flamenco better than everyone else, or at least she say so. It looks like she's promoting mostly herself. I won't get into this stupid thing. I'm not like her. I'm not a professional flamenca, I have nothing to promote accept this blog, and this blog meant to promote flamenco from the first place anyway. All over the world cause it's all over as it should and I'm NOT a provincial as she (she isn't interested in the international flamenco, she cares only about our state. Oh, I mean - her are in our country). I still can promote and know things. Although I'm not connected with flamencos all over the world and although I'm not a professional - as the cliche - whoever can't dance should write. I probably lost my 
opportunity to be a pro, but I learn for years = learn to dance and do my best to know all around it. I finish now my 8 year. At my third year I started to take more than one class a week and I started taken workshops when I can with whoever I think is interesting. And of course - I go a lot to live shows with flamenco artists from here and from Spain. And the knowing people... From the scene over here it looks like I know all and most knows me as well, also personally in a way. About worldwide = I still don't know all but I'm working on knowing more. And of course I have my friends from abroad who let me know what is going on with them, or those who are not personal friends but have their studios and wants me to publish the workshops at their studios. I hope I will have more connections with wonderful people like them. 

And till I will go on - thanks again all of you, readers who want to be updated and those who wants me to update. All over the world. I have readers really all over the world, I just give you by numbers the 10 states which gets in mostly (so far):

USA 78148
Russia 29834
Israel 17942
Germany 9400
Spain 8225
France 4700
Ukraine 2374
Italy 1712
UK 1287
Turkey 914


Thank you all, no matter from where are you at the world
