TANGO WORKSHOPS
The workshops focus on tango as an Improvisation Dance.
We will work on the physical language of tango, on dynamics of movement and specific structure of this dance - from its traditional form to contemporary tendencies - and on the music in the movement, like a strong tool for connection and expression. But above all we will work on the quality of the relation with the other, looking for a balanced and sensible dialogue between partners, capable of creating new shapes and a new way to be together.
​
Some themes:
- Physical technique aimed at a fluid dance (axis, weight, transition)
- Connection between partners (type of contact, distance, visible and invisible connection)
- Beyond the roles (to create a balanced dialogue between “leader” and “follower”, to explore both roles and to improvise together)
- Music of movement (expressive possibilities and imagination)
- Improvisation tools (space, time, intensity, inspiration)
​
Structure
The seminars can have different structures, but often they are held during the weekend and are scheduled in 4 blocks of an hour and half or three blocks of two hours, eventually followed by a practice or a milonga.
TANGO&DANCE-THEATER WORKSHOPS
//About PRESENCE - LANGUAGE - EXPRESSION
//LIMITS - a project with AURORA FORNUTO
​
We will explore the expressive possibilities of the tango language, going beyond its limits and playing with a physical and emotional freedom, proper to dance-theatre language. It is a work of deep connection with ones own interior narrative, a research on presence and action, spaces, relations, limits and resources. A work on exploration, aimed on one side at the possibility of a deeper dance in the milonga, on the other side at the poetical staging of the "story" that tango creates in each of us.
​
Structure
Workshops are held in the weekend in intensive three hour blocks, for example two or three blocks making a total of 6 or 9 hours.
