Diana Reyes studied flamenco dance in Madrid and performed in Spain and Europe in ‘tablao flamenco’ and theatre before returning to Australia to establish her own company ‘Diana Reyes Flamenco’ in 1991. This company has produced successful programs of flamenco dance in Australia.

Diana has choreographed and produced highly acclaimed shows for the Enmore Theatre and Seymour Centre, Sydney and toured nationally. The shows included
Del Alma, Entre Amigos, Elementos, Mosaico, Siroco, Contratiempo, Pasión Flamenca, El Amor Brujo and Camino Flamenco. These performances showcased her powerful dance style and exceptional talent for choreography.

A highlight of these productions was the collaboration between Diana and guest dancers, singers and guitarists from Spain creating an exciting fusion of flamenco styles. This was a unique experience and gave members of the company the opportunity to perform with renowned flamenco artists.

Other distinctive performances included Diana dancing with one of Spain’s foremost flamenco singers Carmen Linares at the Sydney Town Hall and performing with Spanish poet Jose Oliver as part of the Festival of Sydney at The Studio, Sydney Opera House.

Continuous support was received for the theatre projects from the Australia Council and the NSW Ministry for the Arts who recognised Diana for her choreographic talents and supported her aim of promoting and developing flamenco in Australia.
