Flamenco tiene duende

Produced and Directed by Charmaine Chinniah
Produced and Edited by Neil Montgomery

Working with live footage of Flamenco dancers in the Bulerias style, 'Flamenco tiene duende' evokes the spirit of the dance through abstract impressionism. Colours and texture and expressive movements, like Flamenco itself, render an idiomatic relationship with the bullring, or fighting birds, where the flair and intensity of life competes with death.

Oppositions of structure and freedom, light and dark, fast and slow permeate the performance through the softness of swirling skirts and delicate hand gestures and the hardness of stomping feet and clapping hands. Flourishing spirals of colour, sharp, graphic lines and the improvised bonding between dancers and guitar, image and music, symbolise the powerful duality of freedom and structure in the dance.

Charmaine Chinniah is in her final year at Edinburgh College of Art and Neil Montgomery is a film maker, photographer and anthropologist working and living in Edinburgh.

  • The Video Responce I Added Was Of Me Making Some Beats Then Mixing It With Your Vid Hope You Didnt Mind!

  • Agradezco la respuesta a mi comentario, es como lo imaginaba,

    pero no me atrevia a interpretarlo y decirlo por temor a equivocarme,

    muchas gracias!

  • se refiere a que entra en una especie de extasis musical, donde desaparece toda forma todo estilo, donde el cantante y su realidad mueren para que venga el duende, y saque lo que tenga dentro

  • I LOVE THIS! Great work!

  • It looks like a metamorphosing abstract painting. I am especially drawn towards the beginning with what looks like swirling skirts. Interesting approach!

  • It's a flamenco spirograph! Flamencograph. Hehehe. Cool!

  • A que se refieren cuan algo tiene duende? Soy de México y no entiendo el termino si alguien me pudiera responder, gracias!
