CIHTLI OCAMPO & ETHAN MARGOLIS CIHTLI
OCAMPO (Compania de Farruquito) and BULERIAS
INTENSIVE August 6, 7 & 8, 2004 (San Francisco) Presented by LA MIRI & AZAFRÁN Flamenco DANCE
CLASS - taught by Cihtli Ocampo "La Gallardi" FIN
DE FIESTA - taught by Ethan Margolis + + + BIOGRAPHIES + + + Cihtli Ocampo Lopéz “La Gallardi” After debuting in Farruquito’s “Alma Vieja” at the Arriaga Theater in Bilbao, Spain in February, 2004, Ms. Ocampo is quickly becoming one of Flamenco’s most promising young dancers. Born in San Diego, CA, Ms Ocampo has worked in several well-known companies, such as American Bolero Dance Company, based out of Carnegie Hall, NY, under the direction of Gabriela Granados and Carlota Santana Flamenco Vivo, with which she has performed as a soloist in various national tours and at the Julliard school in Lincoln Center. In 1999 Ms. Ocampo was awarded the William J. Fulbright scholarship to study Flamenco and Spanish Dance in Madrid and Seville, Spain. After spending six months training in Madrid with Maria Magdalena, Cristobal and Manuel Reyes, Belen Maya, and Eva la Yerbabuena, Cihtli moved to Seville to study exclusively with the Farruco family. She has been with them ever since and is now a member of Farruquito’s company. Her training with the Farruco family has most recently been enhanced by studies with Manuela Carrasco and Angelita Vargas, and “bata de cola with Yolanda Heredia. From March of 2002 to July of 2003, she was a featured dancer along with Luis Amaya at “La Carboneria” in Seville. Ms. Ocampo has shared the stage with Antonio Canales, Juana Amaya, Manolete and Manolo Soler, and has performed with Farruquito, Farruco chico, La Faraona, Manuel Molina, Montse Cortes, Adella Campallo, Antonio Moya, Juan del Gastor, Luis Agujetas, Las Peligros, El Niño Jero, El Chicharo, Chuscales and Tito Puento. In the summer of 2003 she completed working on “Exile” her first feature film directed by Tony Gatlif, director of “Lacho Drom” and “Vengo”. Currently she is preparing for performances in Paris with La Macanita and Diego de Morao.
Ms Ocampo’s style is often described as a blend of Carmen Amaya and the Farruco family. She is known for her strength and power while maintaining an elegance of line that comes from a lifetime of dancing. When she dances, she takes her audience to a very personal, almost forbidden place where they are forced to face their own emotions...She dances because she knows no better way to express herself or communicate with others. She teaches because she is committed to preserving and diffusing flamenco at it’s purest, most visceral form. After
seeing Cihtli perform, Carmen Amaya’s biographer, Mario Bois, wrote:
“...this girl is truly exceptional...she danced with a man’s
suit and I was reminded of Carmen Amaya. She is strong and astounding,
something you do not see every day.” + + + ETHAN
MARGOLIS In September of 1999, Margolis moved to Seville. He has studied guitar with a wide variety of top level artists including Antonio Moya, Juan del Gastor, David Serva and Cristobal del Melchor. His studies of baile and baile accompaniment have been led by Farruquito, Farruco chico, Farruca, La Faraona, La Gallardi, La Hachará, and Angelita Vargas. Margolis’ dedication to a purist style of accompaniment has taken him to the few places and families where that purity and excellence still exist, namely the Bacans, the Gastors, the Peñas, the Agujetas, and the Farrucos. In March of 2003, Margolis began working as one of the house guitarists at the Carboneria in Seville alongside Carlos Heredia, Cristobal del Melchor, and Antonio Moya. In April of 2003, Ethan was invited to play for Las Peligros at the Feria de Sevilla. In May of that same year he played for the Amaya family in the Feria de Marbella. He also participated in the Fiesta de Utrera y Lebrija en Rocio where he accompanied Pepa de Benito and Ines Bacán. In addition to working at the Carboneria, Mr. Margolis plays regularly at El Mundo, Associacion Antigua de Sevilla, and the Peña Torres Macarena. accompanying some of Seville’s top young dancers, including La Gallardi, Luis Amaya and Marina Martinez. In June of 2003, Margolis produced and played in the U.S. performances of Baile Flamenco and Entre Utrera y Lebrija at the University of Michigan’s RC Auditorium. Mr. Margolis has accompanied a wide array of cantaores (flamenco singers) on and off the stage. Some of these artists include: Manuel de Paula, Tomas de Perrate, Luis Agujetas, Las Peligros, Jarillo de Triana, El Varilla, Mari Peña, La Negra de Utrera and El Manzano. He has participated in fiestas with the Farrucos, Manuel Molina, Rafael Riqueni, El Potito, Remedios Amaya, Bastian Bacán, Diego Carrasco, Gaspar de Utrera, Dorantes, Roman Vicenti, El Perla, Mari Vizarraga, Martin y Juana la del Revuelo, La Macanita, Guadiana, El Extremeño, Ramon El Portugues, Rancapino and El Lebrijano.
