Veronica Maguire co-founded Alma de Espa�a Flamenco Dance Company and School with her husband Harry Owen in 1991. In 2011 Veronica staged a full scale concert Recuerdos as a tribute to Harry who had passed away in 2010. This summer on July 12, 2014 Veronica once again takes to the stage with a 5 star line-up of international Flamenco artists and many local performers. This latest endeavour Pasajes picks up Veronica�s story where Recuerdos left off and marks the culmination of the Victoria Flamenco Project, a 3 year series of workshops, international collaboration, and preview events. It is a journey through the music and dance that score our lives revealing the moments of change that we encounter, sometimes with the support of others and sometimes through much internal struggle. Pasajes is at once, Veronica�s personal story and at the same time a comment on the human experience of life, death, and rebirth. Dancers Domingo Ortega and Mar�a Berm�dez, as well as guitarist Jes�s �lvarez, are among the guest artists coming direct from Spain for this Flamenco extravaganza. Canadian artists include Gareth Owen (flamenco guitarist), JoAnn Dalisay (pianist/composer), Garth Martens (poet), and more! A Canada Council for the Arts representative will be on hand at the evening performance to officially present Veronica Maguire with the Jacqueline Lemieux Prize in recognition of her contribution to dance in Canada. Join the celebration by attending Pasajes.
