SILVER SPONSOR

Sayo Nickerson of ReMax Real Estate Services sponsors “Imagenes del Oriente” on June 8 and 15, 2007

Vancouver, BC Sayo Nickerson of ReMax Real Estate Services wishes Mozaico Flamenco Dance Theatre a wonderful performance of “Imagenes del Oriente”, the first of the Café de Chinitas tablao series at Edie Hats on June 8 and 15, 2007. Sayo generously donated $2,500 to become a Silver Sponsor and support flamenco in Vancouver.

Sayo Nickerson is currently ranked amongst the top 5% of all Lower Mainland Realtors. With most of her business coming from past client referrals, she has shown that her customers trust in her ability and are confident coming back to her again and again. On top of sponsoring the Arts, Sayo donates 10% of her net revenue to local environmental “green” causes.

“The Arts and the Environment are integral parts of any community. I try to promote both!” says Sayo, who believes that people want to be environmentally pro-active but aren’t always sure where to start. “Through the work of our chosen charities, our clients can see they are making a difference.”

A flamenco dancer herself, Sayo became involved with Al Mozaico Flamenco Dance Academy in 2006. After seeing the theatrical production of Café de Chinitas in October, she was inspired by the concept of a multicultural cast and innovative fusion. Sayo personally identified with the spirit of an Asian and Western fusion being of Japanese and American descent herself. Excited by the dramatic effect of new ideas in such a traditional art form, she became a sponsor right away. “I am honoured and pleased to be able to dance with and support such a wonderful company!” says Sayo. Since then, Sayo has explored the art of flamenco dance at the academy and is meeting the Bulerias Por Fiesta challenge head on.

“On behalf of Mozaico Flamenco Dance Theatre, I would like to thank Sayo Nickerson for her generous sponsorship of Café de Chinitas. We feel very fortunate to have her support”, says Kasandra, Project Artistic Director. “Café de Chinitas, which explores the art of Flamenco with the Asian melodies of the Orchid Ensemble is taking another step in this series by integrating Vancouver fashion and culture. While Flamenco has been fused with other genres, the Chinese-Flamenco fusion has never been done before. This is very fitting for the cultural make up of our city and multiculturalism in Vancouver!”
