CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP 2010

Mozaico Flamenco Dance Theatre has built a reputation for producing engaging, artistic shows of rare versatility & polish since 1986.  The company has sold out its last four productions to a diverse, enthusiastic audience in Vancouver.

Since its theatrical debut in 2006, the Café de Chinitas has made a big splash with the press, earning it “Best Merging of Cultures” by the Georgia Straight and “Top 10 Things to Do” by TV Week magazine. 

This year, we are seeking corporate sponsors to help fund our newest production, Viñetas del Mozaico. Viñetas del Mozaico features a dozen colourful and imaginative dance vignettes.

2010 Café de Chinitas

Mozaico Flamenco Dance Theatre & The Orchid Ensemble explore the art of Flamenco dance with the sounds of Chinese traditional instruments in an innovative, contemporary fusion. ‘East meets West’ as gold embroidered cheong sams & the tinkling of the Chinese Zheng blend with the powerful strumming of Flamenco guitar, crackling hand claps & fiery footwork.

Immortalized in the Spanish poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca, “Café de Chinitas” or “Chinese Café” was a classic singing coffee shop in Malaga in the mid 18th century. During this era of extensive Spanish-Orient trade, Asian women used to frequent this Café & were commonly known as “chinitas”.

Residing in Vancouver with company members of Asian descent, how fitting that Mozaico Flamenco embark on a journey to explore Chinese-Spanish music, art & dance in Café de Chinitas! This has never been done in Flamenco before. It is truly original for the art form & extremely relevant for Mozaico Flamenco &the City of Vancouver. Mozaico Flamenco represents Canadian multiculturalism as our diverse backgrounds include Chinese, Filipino, English, Mexican and Spanish nationality.

Thank you for your consideration in supporting the Artistic Community and contributing to the cultural harmony of the City of Vancouver.
