Rebeca Ortega - Azahar Flamenco Dance and Music
From the deepest roots of flamenco, this theatrically spun dance show is born.
Shaped by the luminosity of the alegrías, the depth of the taranto, the rhythms of the tangos and bulerías and the jondura of the soleá and the farruca.
Strength and elegance work in harmony with the tradition of flamenco culture... Where the flight of hands, sensuality, and taconeo induce passion.
Rebeca Ortega has danced at Carmen Amaya Flamenco Cultural Academy, the world renowned Centro de Arte Flamenco y Danza Española Amor de Dios in Madrid and at the Andalousian Centre of Dance.
Her dance comprises a vast repertoire including dance instruments: bata de cola, mantón, bastón, fan and castagnets, and personal fusion skills with circus and theatre.
Rebeca has performed under the direction of the internationally celebrated flamenco dancer and choreographer La Tati with flamenco company Teatro Flamenco La Tati.
As a solo flamenco dancer she has performed at the Edinburgh Festival in four productions, including a Flamenco for Kids which was voted one of the three best children's shows of the Festival.
In 2017, she stands out for the first time in Copenhagen, Denmark, at Himmelstorm Festival and VendersKulturCentret, together with Yolanda Almodóvar Quartet and in a duo with the circus artist Villads Bugge Bang, performing an original piece that plays with flamenco dance, body percussion, circus and physical theatre.
She toured the UK for the first time four years ago and returned last year with RAÍCES which she performed at Norden Farm.

Hundred Watt Club - A Burlesque and Cabaret Spooktacular Speakeasy!
Back at Norden Farm by popular demand, Hundred Watt Club invites you to peek inside their cabinet of curiosities and celebrate Halloween with an evening of bizarre burlesque, queer cabaret and sublime circus entertainment.
Expect spinetingling striptease, madcap comedy, dizzying circus stunts and all manner of cabaret tomfoolery. You’ll never be the same after a glimpse into this topsy turvy world. Expect the unexpected, but come prepared for an unforgettable night of tongue in cheek, glamourous, grown-up fun!
Hundred Watt Club are proud to be one of the longest running burlesque revues in the UK.
The lowdown: not for the fainthearted, this show employs and embraces adult themes, strong language and partial nudity with gusto. Glamorous, vintage attire is encouraged (we love it when you dress up!) but not enforced; wear what you’re comfy in.
‘Old school mischief and timeless raunchiness collide at the Hundred Watt Club. Hats – and corsets – off to Lena Mae for an excellent night of entertainment’ Sussex Express
‘Harking back to the gin drenched halcyon days of a grimy Berlin nightclub in the 1930s, Hundred Watt Club sparkles, fizzles and shines brightly on a dark night’ Fringereview.co.uk
