These workshops are designed for contact improvisers and tango dancers and for dancers and movers more in general. The aim is to guide and support the shift to a state of heightened perceptiveness while extending your movement vocabulary and discovering new possibilities in your dance. By leveraging the movement tools and the spirit of freedom and emancipation typical of contact improvisation, we will engage the fundamentals of tango not as given techniques or assumptions but as ‘enabling constraints’ to find a deeper sense of freedom and sharing in the dance. The workshops engage touch as a medium to access the unique kinesthetic-affective space of intimacy and playfulness emerging in tango without having to replicate the external form and the gendered-based lead and follow roles of the traditional form of the tango duet. In particular, this is an opportunity to re-engage the ways in which you feel and relate with parts of your and your partner’s body that constitute the heart of the experience of dancing tango: the chest, the legs and the feet.
