Finally arrived in Sevilla!
This trip has really been a trip. I got back to NJ on Thursday evening to get ready for my flight to Spain on Friday. I don´t really know what time zone my jetlag is in anymore. The flight out of JFK is so late due to the weather in New York, we were finally airborn at 11pm, 2 hours later than our original itinerary. However hard I wished or peddled in my seat, the plane just couldn´t go faster, so by the time I arrived in Madrid, I had missed my connection to Sevilla, after all that running through the passport inspections, customs, taking a tram to connecting gates, and running down the terminals to my gate. I got to the gates breathless, and saw my plane about 100 feet on its way to the runway. So I spent the next 3 and a half hours getting to know every inch of the Madrid airport. When I got to Sevilla it took me over an hour to find my bags. Apparently they separate out the bags that are not originated from the UE countries nowadays. With all this delay, Flamencarte adjusted my pick up with Yuki´s. So by the time Yuki got in, she got a surprise pick up with me. We have been planning to meet in Sevilla for 2 years and it finally happened this time around.
As soon as we got to our apartment, I have no time to unpack, I rushed over to Teatro Central to catch Pastora Galvan´s ¨La Francesa¨. The performance was bold, creative (choreographed by her brother Israel), and powerful. Both the music and the choreography were very inclusive of untraditional musical instruments and body movements. Starting on Wednesday, I will study with Pastora, so I had to make this performance to get a glimpse of her style. Tonight I´m excited about going to see Isabel Bayon´s ¨La Puerta Abierto¨. Thanks to Flamencarte for getting my Bienal tickets early, there are still plenty of people trying to hope for scouts tickets.
As soon I figure out how to upload the pictures, there will be some photos. Right now the computer I´m using is all in Spanish...no metiendo.
Since Monday I´ve been in Miguel Vargas´technique classes and it´s like a training bootcamp. I am going to rest my feet and find a pair of comfortable slipper to walk around this town, which is full of old streets, with cobblestones and uneven pavements. There are many quint spots, and I promise to share the sights once I figure out the photo uploading in Spanish. Ciao.
