CAMBIO DE TERCIO SHOW
The show consists of ten scenes of different lengths, with the figure of the dancer as a material that is transformed and dressed for every dance and every piece. Choreographers gift us with a variety of pieces and movements, changes in style, wardrobe changes and “palos flamencos”, providing the stage with a vibrant power in each choreography. CAMBIO DE TERCIO is a dance with a mixture of styles based on the classical Spanish and flamenco dance, such as: CANTIÑAS, SEVILLANAS, FANDANGOS, RUMBAS, BAMBERAS, BULERIAS, TANGUILLOS y SEGUIDILLAS (danced with 4 spectacular tail dressing gowns and Spanish gowns). Rojas y Rodríguez with their four female dancers and together with live music played by six musicians, are back with this new show, that they consider their best creation together. As is to be expected with choreographies of this quality, Rojas and Rodriguez will gift us with solos, duets and exciting group numbers full of sensuality and strength. One of the major innovative aspects of this production is the active participation of the musicians on stage interacting with the cast of dancers in the choreographies. The visual effects in this show are guaranteed due to the careful selection of costumes and lighting designed exclusively for this occasion. CAMBIO DE TERCIO is an opportunity you have been waiting for years, an opportunity for your senses, with the most talented female dancers since the company was founded by Rojas and Rodriguez. It is the discovery of four new solo brilliant dancers. In the show, these dancers nourish your senses, through the transmission of feelings, giving them the opportunity to cover new dimensions in the style of each dance as CAMBIO DE TERCIO gives us the opportunity to enjoy a range of mature and risky pieces, throughout the entire show. The lighting design will be handled by David Perez, while the wardrobe is designed by Vicente Soler and Carlos Rodriguez.

DIRECTORS’ QUOTES TOWARDS CAMBIO DE TERCIO “CAMBIO DE TERCIO means it can work out, means that we can speak, we can have different projects and collaborate among other professionals and it shows what can be done and this is the proof. For me, the most important matter about the creation of Cambio de Tercio is in the final result, our best artistic creation…” ROJAS “The choreography is a mixture of tradition and modernity and we are very pleased to have worked with the guest’s choreographers Rocío Molina, Rafael Campayo and Manuel Liñan. I am convinced that this is one of the best shows of our career.” RODRÍGUEZ “Regarding the choreography, we did not wanted to look for discordant elements, our intentions have been to look up to the traditional part of our art, I mean everything is already made up and really what you have to do is to modernize what already exists…” ROJAS “Our new show, Cambio de Tercio, came out from the idea of making a show related with the aesthetics and traditions of the flamenco roots. We wanted to get the inspiration from the seventies, the flamenco with flounce dresses and dots, wanting to give the freshness of the actual flamenco to the aesthetics’s stereotypes of those times.” RODRÍGUEZ “On the creative side we have collaborated with our assiduous team, David Pérez at lighting and Vicente Soler at the dress design, with whom we manage to put together our ideas about the dresses and made the show very special from the aesthetics point of view. The sound is also very special, designed by Victor Tomé, as we count with professional wireless equipment, all musicians interact with the dancers during the show, there’s a lot of dynamism and movement on stage.” RODRÍGUEZ “…we have carried out with lots of efforts such an ambitious project as CAMBIO DE TERCIO, a change of pace in our career and it has come true.” ROJAS “...the only commitment we had was: with the flamenco, with the theatre, with the respect for the auduence and the art. We take the audience to a magical world, the world of the stage and the dance, the language we speak, showing the transformation of how we are in and out of the stage.” RODRÍGUEZ

“They dazzled us with their talent, their presence and their immutable complicity…” Rosli Ayuso El Mundo, Spain. 1.5.2007 “Creatively and musically they do much more than fulfill expectations, dominating the profession and controlling flamenco, they do not fail.” La Vanguardia, Spain. 30.4.2007 “Nuevo Ballet Español vibrates in unison and communicates its love for dance.” Il Monferrato, Italy. 28.6.2002 “An enormous success and completely sold out for Nuevo Ballet Español!” Samantha Cipolla La Tribuna, Italy. 28.2.2001 “…The two young talents that created and who now lead the Nuevo Ballet Español, give a practical demonstration of how both serious work and responsible production values are the necessary ingredients to establish a dance company, and from that, examine the possibilities for a new style of dance. Angel and Carlos dance with soul, they take care with their form and their gestures, and they never fall into the excesses of pseudo-folklore, or a desire to be too contemporary that so damage this genre of dance. And if it is virtuosity that we are talking about, we can already class these two as new stars.” Roger Salas El País, Spain. 13.11.1998
