We know our dancers (3rd CSE)

We are going to write a small biography about a contemporary andalusian dancer / creator / choreographer. To help you write a brief bio you can consider different questions and write paragraphs using complete senteces. To find info you can search through Google your given artist and also take a look at the site of the PAD.

Sample

Juan (José) Tirado borned in Jaen in 1986. He studied computer engineering in Jaén and he started to dance bboying in 2004. His artistic name is his real name but he seems not to use his second name, José, maybe because "less is more", as the saying goes. He arrived to Berlin in 2013 where he created the company Frantics with his other three colleagues, seeking new concepts. 

The work I choose to comment is "I am that", produced in 2014 and available in Vimeo. This clip
introduces aerial photography and uses the theme Bloomby Radiohead. In this work the dancer appears at and open space moving to the rythm of he music. Is a solo work and the movements remind to breakbeat dance thought they are enriched with contemporary dance touches.
