Christine Holley’s long involvement in contemporary dance and flamenco includes teaching, performance and choreography – elements that permeate her work as a visual artist. Her specialist subject is Ballets Russes and its impact on visual arts, her writing on which is held in the National Library of Art at London’s V&A Museum and by other major arts organisations.
Less is more in flamenco and this production's genius and cool authority see it soar in a pared down and subtle mix of fabulous dance, beautiful music and haunting imagery.
