ANDRES
PENA was born in Jerez de la Frontera (Spain) in 1976, and began
to dance at the age of ten. He received his early training under
Angelita Gomez, and later studied with various dancers in the
flamenco “tablaos,” and formed part of several flamenco
companies, among them those of Manuel Norao, La Chunga, Carmen
Cortés in the production “Salomé”,
and more recently Eva Yerbabuena in the productions “Eva”
and “5 mujeres 5.” He has collaborated with guitarists
José Luis Montón, and with Juan Carlos Romero,
with whom he continues to work. He also collaborated in the
production “Sanmaruco” with the singer Duquende,
and as invited artist with the dancer Juana Maya. He has appeared
with several flamenco productions that have taken him to countries
that include the United States, Australia, Brazil, Denmark,
Turkey, Poland, France, Germany and Japan. In 2002, he was honored
with the award of Young Flamenco Performers in the Bienal de
Sevilla. As a solo performer, his credits include the Festival
de Jerez in 2000 and 2001; the Bienal de Sevilla in 2002; and
at the Teatro Alameda in the Festival de Música y Danza
in Granada in 2001. He also toured with other award-winners
of the “Jóvenes Intérpretes Flamencos”,
including performances in Italy, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland,
and Holland. Peña has taught classes to the company of
Eva Yerbabuena, the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucia, in the school
of Mario Maya in Granada, and at the Festival de Jerez. He has
also taught internationally in Norway, Greece, Italy, France,
Germany, United States, England and Japan. He premiered his
first production “Peña” at the Festival de
Jerez in 2004, which he subsequently took to Brighton (England)
Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, a tour through Belgium, a tour organized
by the Toulouse Festival in France; and which most recently
inaugurated the I Festival Flamenco de Santa Cruz de Tenerife
in the Canary Islands.
His latest production of "A Fuego Lento," a collaboration
with his partner Pilar Ogalla, was premiered at the 2007 Bienal
de Sevilla and went on to be featured at the Festival de Jerez,
where it garnered high critical praise from the critics. In
the summer of 2007, Andres was invited to premiere this production
as part of the New World Flamenco Festival in Irvine, California,
under the artistic direction of Yaelisa. "A Fuego Lento"
received outstanding reviews by the Southern California press.
His appearance in “Jardin de Mis Sueños”
marks Andres Pena's debut in the Bay Area and with Caminos Flamencos.
