Born in Montreal, Chloé Brûlé moved to Madrid at the age of 19 to study flamenco at the Amor de Dios school in 1998. She then moved to Seville, where she began her professional career as a dancer in Javier Latorre’s company for his production Rinconete y Cortadillo. In 2005, she founded her own dance company alongside Marco Vargas. Combining their art, the duo seek to tell stories, expressing their concerns narratively through movement. The Marco Vargas & Chloé Brûlé company is a resounding success, winning numerous awards and touring the world’s most prestigious flamenco festivals.
Performer, choreographer, advisor and artistic director, Chloé Brûlé has also developed a strong vocation for teaching.
La Otra Orilla is delighted to welcome to its studio
this remarkable artist and teacher!
Born in Torreón, Coahuila, Marién grew up in a household deeply immersed in the performing arts, including theatre, costume design, and fashion. This upbringing provided an environment conducive to exploring her own artistic language and developing more personal stage proposals beyond the traditional framework of flamenco.
Marién Luévano embarked on her artistic journey in 2003, initially focusing on flamenco with the support of FONCA (National Fund for Culture and the Arts), which enabled her to create her first solo work under the direction of Nora Manneck. Titled “MAR,” this piece delved into choreographic explorations of the cantes de ida y vuelta of flamenco. Subsequently, Marién collaborated with other dancers on creations such as “Un poquito de compás,” “Teoria y juego del Duende,” and “Dos en compañía y un momento.”
Expanding her horizons, Marién ventured into projects integrating diverse music and corporealities. One notable example is “Sonidos del Desierto,” supported by FONCA’s A Stage Creation program, a collaboration with sound artist Antonio Russek. This choreographic and electroacoustic creation explores the protected areas of the Coahuila desert and the desert music exhibited at the Saltillo museum, under the direction of Nora Manneck.
