Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 2:00 pm. At the National Hispanic Cultural Center. In 2011, writers Camelia Rose Finley and Jacob Cornelius were enjoying a party after an Albuquerque art opening when one of the guests, a flamenco dancer, started to dance. The rhythm of her footwork attracted the attention of another guest, a local rapper, who began rapping to the beat of the dance. As Finley says, “I was struck by the momentum and the power of the combination.” That serendipitous moment was the inspiration for a new work. She Dances with Fate, created in a new theatrical genre, the “flamenco hip-hopera,” will have its world premiere at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in the Albuquerque Journal Theatre March 8 through 10, 2013. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 2:00 pm. For tickets call NHCC box office, at 505-724-4771. Youth Honoring Mother Earth- Saturday April 13th. 9am-2pm.
