Jon Maya

Jon Maya Sein (1977, Errenteria-Basque Country) is a dancer and choreographer, and a major expert on Basque traditional dance. He has managed to create a unique style based on traditional dance from his country that is original, recognisable on the international scene and which in terms of contemporary dance and modern-day performance techniques combines a type of deep-rooted contemporary dance with contemporary ancestral dance.

One of Jon Maya’s main characteristics is his ability to combine and bring together different artists and artistic disciplines. There has been a great deal of collaboration with choreographers, stage managers and musicians, etc., such as: Cesc Gelabert, Israel Galván, Damián Muñoz and Virginia García, Mireia Gabilondo, Jone San Martín (Forsythe Ballet), Carlos Núñez, and the Euskadi Symphony Orchestra, etc.
