"None, surely, has been more daringly innovative than Israel Galván"
FINANCIAL TIMES
Maverick flamenco dancer Israel Galván is well known in dance circles for his intricate and intriguing contemporary works which are deeply rooted in the flamenco tradition.

Considered a genius of his generation, Israel Galván is celebrated for his astonishingly complicated and fast footwork. With a deep knowledge of traditional flamenco, Galván updates the dance with a unique avant-garde twist – transforming it for the 21st century. He has won many of flamenco's most prestigious awards including Spain's National Dance Prize.

For his performance of La Curva at Sadler’s Wells, he works with two female musicians; singer Ines Bacan and pianist Sylvie Courvoisier, to explore the vibrations created in an empty space.
