Rebeca Ortega Flamenco - Silences

From the tradition and avant-garde of flamenco culture, this dance performance is theatrically woven together, accompanied by traditional flamenco musicians.

Rebeca Ortega Dancer
Ramón Ruiz Guitarist and composer
Carlos Lobo Vocalist and palmas
Sebastian Ruiz Percussionist

Expressed through the depth of the seguiriya, the femininity of the guajira, the intensity of the farruca, and the rhythms of the jaleos and bulerías.

In a world filled with internal dialogues and an excess of noise and information, are we truly in control of our decisions? Often, we are overwhelmed by anxiety, hindering our mental calm. As a result, there arises a need to reflect on the value of silence in our society, in a flamenco piece full of passion, strength, and elegance.

Notable for her strong expression, sense of rhythm, elegance and high level of physical and multidisciplinary abilities. Rebeca has been nominated in the Dancer category at the Seville Stages Awards 2024 for her recent production of flamenco roots and at the same time avant-garde Silences, which filled two nights at the Teatro La Fundición in Seville.

In her short artistic career, she has had the privilege of being nominated by the Embassy of Spain to represent flamenco art with her company in every corner of the world, performing in countries such as China, Bhutan, India, Ethiopia or Trinidad and Tobago. Highlights include Teatros del Canal (Madrid), Watford Palace Theatre (London), National Opera (Armenia), Montreux Dance Festival (Switzerland), National Theatre National Opera (Armenia), National Theatre of Performing Arts (Trinidad and Tobago).

She stood out in important productions such as A mi manera with the flamenco company Teatro Flamenco La Tati and as a solo dancer at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She is currently immersed in the production of Kalasetu in London, a show that fuses traditional flamenco art with classical Indian music and dance. Her passion and versatility have established her as a leading figure in the current flamenco scene.

DNC Dance & Yoga Studio: Summer Production 2025

In 2005 a dream began and in 2025, it is a flourishing reality...

DNC Dance and Yoga Studio is proud to celebrate their 20th anniversary with this student production. The company is the brainchild of multi award-winning entrepreneur Nikita Thakrar, who is passionate about promoting Indian dance in Berkshire.

One of our proudest achievements is the longstanding relationships built within our community, with many of our students staying with us throughout their childhood, teenage years and even into their adulthood! The teaching team at the purpose-built studio, consists of the very first dancers who started their journey when they were as young as 5yrs old.

We invite our friends, family and well wishers from the community to join our 20th Birthday Summer Production this year. You will be treated to a spectacular production of Indian classical and Bollywood dance.

You Choose

You Choose – Every show is unique!

Based on the brilliant book by Pippa Goodhart and Nick Sharratt, Nonsense Room Productions (Shark in the Park and Hairy Maclary Shows) bring you an interactive musical show for all the family. But in this show – YOU CHOOSE what happens!

Using the picture book as inspiration and through a series of games and challenges each show will be unique with different characters, locations, costumes and much more every time!

'It’s all as entertainingly random as the book, particularly for those younger people in attendance. The manner in which they go about the choosing is joyous, inviting young volunteers from the audience to pick a character' The List

'Quite simply, it's fun, it's funny, it appears a simple format but is actually clever; it's a great family show' Lothian Life

'There is plenty of choice and bundles of energy at Nonsense Room Productions’ adaptation of the children’s picture book, You Choose' All Edinburgh Theatre

Age guidance 2 - 7 years.
