Yinka Esi Graves is a British flamenco dancer and practitioner whose work explores the intersections between contemporary dance, flamenco and Afro-diasporic movement. Based in Spain for over a decade, she has developed a unique choreographic language that uses the body as a site of research into identity, memory and visibility.

Her critically acclaimed production, The Disappearing Act, highlights her ability to blend traditional flamenco structures with experimental performance, questioning the historical presence of the Black female body in the art form. Yinka has collaborated with internationally renowned artists and institutions, establishing herself as a pioneering voice in vanguard flamenco. Her dance is characterised by a profound groundedness, rhythmic complexity, and a constant dialogue between the seen and the unseen.
