The Ensemble Espafiol Spanish Dance Theater presents classical, folkloric, flamenco and contemporary dance and music traditions of Spain. In addition to its professional performances, Ensemble Espafiol has a dance school, a youth ensemble, and offers an academic curriculum in conjunction with Northeastern Illinois, where it is in residence. Ensemble Espafiol will engage in an artistic exchange with the Madrid-based dance company, Nuevo Ballet Espafiol, which includes Spanish choreographers Angel Rojas and Carlos Rodriguez. The exchange will culminate in the production of an original dance piece that will premiere during the Ensemble's 40th anniversary season. This grant funds direct project costs: travel, accommodations, artist fees, artistic materials, venue costs, and marketing. It is recommended as part of the International Connections Fund.
