Eva Enciñias and the Artistry of Flamenco

September 22, 2022 by Josephine Reed Leave a Comment

Flamenco Artist and 2022 National Heritage Fellow Eva Enciñias has transformed and broadened the performance and study of flamenco in the United States generally and in her hometown of Albuquerque, N.M. particularly. In this podcast, Enciñias talks about the artistry and history of flamenco and her family’s roots in this art form;  her dual loves: flamenco and teaching,  her 43 year-long career as a teacher in the dance department at the University of New Mexico where she created a concentration in flamenco in the undergraduate and graduate levels— the only accredited dance program of its kind internationally. We also discuss the institute she founded The National Institute of Flamenco which houses many programs and events including the Flamenco Festival Alburquerque (they went back to the original spelling) which has just celebrated its 35th anniversary and is one of the premier flamenco festivals in the world, and her on-going work weaving flamenco in the fabric of her community.
