Step inside the world of the dance studio, where movement, memory and identity intertwine.

Self Portrait is a “live portrait” of award-winning dancer and choreographer Annalouise Paul, who shares stories of her Sephardi (Jewish Spanish) ancestry and invites the audience into the intimate space where her art and ancestry meet.

Through contemporary flamenco, song and story, Self Portrait blends themes of migration, memory and identity, unveiling the existence of multiple cultural affinities and the many layers of life’s experiences passed down to each of us.

Rich in music, movement and meaning, the inner life of the dancer is expressed through humour, wit and curiosity, revealing the deeply hidden histories of Jewish flamenco and reflecting on and how art and DNA collide in powerful, unexpected ways.
