Flamenco Agency organised several important international performances in 2017 which were relevant to the history of flamenco. At one end of the spectrum, we coordinated the world premiere of the Andalucían Flamenco Ballet show ‘Flamenco, Tradition, Avant-Garde’ at Sibiu International Theatre Festival in Romania, a production framed within the educational programme ‘Cantera project’. On the other side of the world, we took ‘Carmen’ and the international premiere of ‘Torera’ by Antonio Andrade Flamenco Company to Asia for the 19th Bangkok International Festival of Dance and Music. In addition, we became members of the International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA) and attended APAP in New York City. Moreover, we also participated at China SPAF in Shanghai, SPAM in Sibiu, Womex in Katowice and offered some performances in the Baltic countries. Meanwhile, in Spain, Flamenco Agency also participated at the Segovia Festival and premiered ‘Carmen by Mérimée’ in Madrid. Also during 2017, Flamenco Agency Management & Tours Ltd was officially created. Lastly, to finish this incredible year, we performed for 6000 people attending the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Discover 2017 Madrid event. We provided the opening ceremony with ‘4 Women 4’ which preceded the inaugural speech by CEO Meg Whitman.
