Ever since I was a little girl, the people around me and I have always understood the movement was the essence of my life. I was a restless girl who could only find peace while dancing. Luckily my mum found this little mania upon rhythm and dance quickly and so she signed me up at a Rhythmic course of Ballet Preparation.
I remember that at the age of four, everytime any kind of music was played, my heart and body were fulled of blossom and emotion and from that on my life started to move forward between one song and another, mainly from Sunday to Wednesday as those were the days when I used to attend to my extra-curricular Ballet classes.
I cannot barely remember a day without making up my own childish show, which was an obligatory date for everyone to attend. It was a daily improvisation task collecting props and outfits such as masks, leotards, animal horns and so ever. There was a new creation everyday, a new stage, a new personality.
Those leading actors, first ballerinas, opera singers and conductors were my heroes and life examples, whereas the stage started to become my home. My calendar was always marked at the End of the Year’s Show Day and as soon as it was done and ended, I could not wait to start up another final countdown for the next 365 days.
My mom was the one who used to take me to the shows, no matter the kind. It could be the Opera, Rock concerts or even theatre representations. After those dates, my main used to fantasize with being on the stage ans so this thoughts use to full my body and soul with so much energy that could even keep me awake all night long.
I have always thought that being a creator has to be with the dozens of things you have seen, inhaled and lived along your life. Even a bench at the corner of the street, a song played on the radio, a baby crying or a piece of art can make you different. Everything can be considered a proper form of creation.
The first time I was exposed to flamenco, I immediately felt it was the best and only way I could have to show my inner personality. I finally felt I have endless ways to express myself beyond my boundaries while feeling myself in pure and true freedom.
These, brought me to produce my first show 20 years ago, to perform for another 12 years, to create each representation’s choreography in my own studio and eventually designing my own flamenco clothing collection defined under the name of PASION.
