artist-in-residence 

Every year, Flamenco Rosario invites an international artist to share their unique style and interpretation of Flamenco.

The 2023 Artist In Residence is Macarena López Díaz.



Sevilla, 1990. Macarena started her studies at the Conservatorio Profesional de Danza de Sevilla “Antonio Ruíz Soler”, obtaining the title of Grado Medio in Danza Española. Subsequently, she joined the dance corps of the Centro Andaluz de Danza de Sevilla, with dancers like Rubén Olmo, Rocío Coral, Anabel Martín, Andrés Marín, and Lola Greco.

She started her collaboration with the company Estévez & Paños with the performance Flamenco Hoy by Carlos Saura, which toured to Festival de Jerez, Bienal de Flamenco Sevilla, Festival de Jazz de Montreal, and others. At the same time, Macarena created other projects with the company: La Consagración, Bailables, and currently El Sombrero; which had its premier at the national competition, Concurso Nacional de Arte Flamenco de Córdoba.

Together, Macarena and Sara Jiménez, obtained the prize for best choreography in the Certamen de Coreografía Eduardo Úrculo.

Later, she debuted as Soloist Dancer of the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía under the direction of Rafael Estévez. For two years, she participated on the choreographies, Aquel Silverio and Cantera. In 2018, she finished her career at the Ballet with Flamencocolorquiano at the wonderful location of Generalife de la Alhambra.

In 2021, she won the first place as soloist dancer in the competition, Certamen Coreográfico de Madrid. That same year, she released her magnum opus Crisol, with which she has toured numerous national and international stages.

Nowadays, she combines her collaboration with the cantaor flamenco Arcángel, and the company Estévez & Paños, with the performance Reverso, which recently premiered at the 26th edition of the Festival Flamenco de Jerez.
