DANZA CONTEMPORÁNEA DE CUBA / Miguel Iglesias’ interview
March 2010
50 Years of Danza Contemporanea de Cuba
This spring, UK dance fans are in for a treat as the dazzling Danza Contemporanea de Cuba makes its UK debut. World famous, but rarely seen outside of Cuba, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba celebrates its 50th anniversary with its first ever major UK tour throughout February and March 2010. The dance group consists of an electrifying mix of contemporary, classical and Caribbean dance styles and is one of the most exciting, modern groups around.
Danza Contemporanea, as a Cuban dance troop, are supported by Havana Cultura; (http://www.havana-cultura.com/); a global art initiative from Cuban rum, Havana Club. The initiative provides a window on contemporary Cuban culture and was developed to give the spirit of Havana a global voice. The aim of the project is to give modern Cuban artists a unique platform to showcase their work, energy and passion internationally. Exclusive behind the scenes footage of the group can be found on the Havana Cultura site: http://www.havana-cultura.com/EN/performing-art/danza-contemporanea-de-cuba/contemporanean-cuban-dance.html#/733.
The eight venue tour will see Danza Contemporanea de Cuba collaborating with leading international choreographers Mats Ek, Rafael Bonachela, Jan Linkens and will include two UK premieres. With a compulsory curriculum in contemporary dance for children aged 10 upwards, Cuba today produces some of the world’s finest contemporary dancers. They are schooled in a technique that mixes Graham and Afro-Caribbean methods to produce a movement that is strong, fluid and technically excellent. Along with this technique Danza Contemporanea de Cuba’s work reflects the Cuban way of life, with sensual, mystical dance that is performed from the heart.
Havana Cultura, as an initiative, encourages people to explore this unique talent, vibrancy and modernity that the country has to offer. It is the first of its kind to profile artists from all disciplines, from musicians to writers raising awareness of contemporary art and culture of the city of Havana, as well as the richness of Cuban culture.
For their first major UK tour, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba will present two programmes. Programmes A and B will feature the UK premiere of Mambo 3XXI, by young Danza Contemporanea de Cuba principal George Cespedes, which will include an electronic mambo soundtrack by progressive Cuban electro group Nacional Electrónica (http://www.havana-cultura.com/EN/cuban-music/nacional-electronica/new-wave-musical-experimentation-from-cuba.html#/1923). Mambo 3XXI had its world premiere in Havana in December 2009.
Programme A will also feature Rafael Bonachela’s Demo-N/Crazy, which was conceived as a result of an exchange initiated by Assis Carreiro of DanceEast in 2007. The piece is set to Latin music by Julia Wolf, and is inspired by the intimacy that Bonachela observed between the Cuban dancers. Folia by former Dutch National Ballet choreographer Jan Linkens completes Programme A.
Programme B will showcase Mambo 3XXI, and in addition will include the UK premiere of Casi Casa, by Mats Ek, former Artistic Director of Cullberg Ballet and former choreographer with Nederlands Dans Theater, Hamburg Ballet and Paris Opéra Ballet.
During all press nights, authentic Cuban cocktails will be on offer courtesy of Cuban rum, Havana Club. Havana Club will host the main bar and provide the ultimate setting to an evening of the finest Cuban culture and dance.

Danza Contemporanea de Cuba
Contemporary dance is a relatively recent development in Cuba, beginning in 1959 when Ramiro Guerra founded the Conjunto Nacional de Danza Moderna (National Modern Dance Group). Guerra, who had danced with Martha Graham's company in New York, moulded the Conjunto's repertoire into a uniquely Cuban blend of modern American theatre, Afro-Caribbean dance styles and classical European ballet.
The company's name eventually changed to Danza Contemporanea de Cuba. Today it counts 60 dancers drawn from the Escuela Nacional de Arte, Cuba's national art school. A number of dancers from Danza Contemporanea de Cuba have gone on to form their own smaller, experimental companies after dancing with the company.
Currently under the direction of Miguel Iglesias, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba is severely restricted with regards to its available budget and resources, but has nevertheless managed to undergo a small number of tours in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa, and counts more than 70 works in its repertoire.
About Havana Club
Havana Club has kept alive the art of ageing and blending premium rums, thus ensuring the heritage and excellence of the Cuban rum-making tradition.
The range starts from the younger Havana Club rums - say, Añejo Blanco or 3 Años, you then proceed up the ladder: Añejo Especial, 7 Años, Cuban Barrel Proof and finish with Añejo 15 Años or perhaps even Maximo Extra Añejo. Each of the rum’s has its own roles, the focus in the UK currently is on the more popular Especial and 7 Años products.
· Añejo Blanco – The youngest of Havana Club’s aged rums. It reflects Cuba’s expertise at making light, white rums, whilst ‘anejo’ highlights to the natural ageing process common to all Havana Club rums.
· Añejo 3 Años - Is the ideal ingredient for all premium cocktails, such as the Cuban Daiquiri as served at the the legendary Floridita in Havana. It is the result of blending aged and aromatic sugarcane aguardientes with extra light sugarcane ditillates to produce a selection of young rums.
· Añejo Especial – Apremium golden rum, combining the lightness of white rums and the robust aroma of dark rums. Especial is a versatile golden rum seen as the perfect base for classic Cuban cocktails such as the Cuba Libre and the Mojito.
· Añejo 7 Años – Embodies Cuban rum-making excellence and is recognized as one of the best aged rums in the world, It can be enjoyed neat, with ice, or served in a truly indulgent Cuba Libre.
· Cuban Barrel Proof – A unique concept in rum, bottled straight from the barrel at 45 ABV, skillfully combining the lightness and smoothness of a delicate classic sipping rum with the intensity and complexity of carefully aged rums. It was awarded a gold medal at the IWSC 2006 in London.
· Añejo 15 Años – The result of the natural ageing process charachteristic of Havana Club, best served neat as befits a great classic aged rum.Máximo Extra Añejo – Is handcrafted from rare extra-aged rums, enshrined within an elegant crystal decanter showcasing its ultra-premium positioning.
