❤️🔥 SUMMER FUEGO — ONE WEEK LATER! ❤️🔥
It’s officially been one week since Summer Fuego, and I’m still feeling incredibly grateful for everyone who came out, showed love, and supported this production! 💃🏽✨
It truly takes a village to put on a production, and I’m so thankful for every person who helped bring this evening to life.
A huge thank you to Collaboraction for welcoming us into your space, and to the Ensemble Español Spanish Dance Theater leadership and dancers for your continued support of me and my work.
Special thank you to Kara Zimmerman for making the connection to Collaboraction and helping make this opportunity possible, and to Tyler Luzietti for all of the behind-the-scenes stage support. ❤️
And, of course, so much appreciation for the incredible artists who shared their talent and artistry with me:
🎸 Tom Kimball
🎸 David Chiriboga
🎤💃🏽 Marfil Alemán
🕺🏽Matthew Jalac
And finally, THANK YOU to our audience! ❤️🔥
Seeing so many loved ones, friends, fellow artists, and supporters in the audience meant more than I can say. Some of you have been supporting these productions since our very first tablao at Luzietti Studios in February 2025, and seeing you continue to show up means the world to me.
Summer Fuego was another reminder of why I love creating these spaces — bringing artists together, creating opportunities to perform, and building a community around flamenco here in Chicago. I’m excited to keep growing, learning, and seeing where the next production takes us. ❤️🔥
Producing these shows continues to remind me just how special our community is. I’m incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to create, collaborate, and continue sharing my love of flamenco with Chicago.
Thank you for believing in these productions, supporting live artists, and continuing to show up for flamenco.
Until the next one… ❤️🔥💃🏽
¡Gracias a todos!
