Laura is a flamenco aficionada who has also worked for flamenco organisations and events. In the 80s, the rhythms and aesthetics of flamenco in particular made a huge impression on young Laura, and it remains a fascination with its depth, multiculturalism and versatility.

Flamenco is an art form based on singing (cante), guitar (toque), clapping (palmas), and dancing (baile), with roots in southern Spain. Flamenco incorporates various nuances of Spanish dance, Romani culture, and Oriental, Jewish, Indian, and African dance and musical influences. Today it can be experienced on the most renowned dance and music stages in the world as a contemporary artform as well as on small local stages (tablao) with local artists.
