AWARDS
ARTIST OF THE YEAR
Congratulations to our director Julie Galle for being named Artist of the Year by the Atlanta Chapter of the National League of American Pen Women.
Julie is being recognized for her work as a choreographer, teacher, and producer in flamenco arts for 25 years. During that time, she has been a faculty member of the Atlanta Ballet and the Dance and Movement Studies Program at Emory University. She has been a teaching artist on the rosters of the Georgia Council for the Arts, the Fulton County Schools Teaching Museum, Arts and Science Council of North Carolina, and Young Audiences Woodruff Arts Center. She also joined ArtsNOW as a Dance Consultant, working across the Southeastern U.S. Her role as an educator spawned first-hand research that resulted in published scholarship in the field of flamenco history and contemporary social issues related to the art form.
Through Berdolé, Julie raised the bar of flamenco talent in metro Atlanta by presenting visiting artists in concert and education, so that people in the place where she lives can enjoy flamenco the way that she experiences it in Spain, where she has studied and conducted research for two decades. The production company has also become a vehicle to bring flamenco to other cities, via tours, online classes, and behind-the-scenes work from graphic design to production management.
As an artist, Julie has produced traditional and contemporary flamenco works, the latter exploring connections between flamenco and spoken word, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Indian dance styles. She has created work as a resident artist for Mathematics-In-Motion and the Decatur School of Ballet. As Executive Director of A Través, she is a founder of the Atlanta Flamenco Festival and La Feria ATLANTA, which recognizes La feria de abril in Seville, Spain.
The award ceremony takes place in May in Atlanta.
