The workshop will be held from 15:00h till 18:00h on the 15th Saturday and 16th Sunday.

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 (how to create a balanced dialogue between “leader” and “follower” and improvise together)

– Music of movement (expressive possibilities and imagination)

– Improvisation tools (space, time, intensity, inspiration)
