ContacTango Workshop with Leilani and Miquel >> Dates and timing 13 & 14th November 5 hours both days 10am - 5pm (including 2h lunch break) >> Place Jungle Dance Theatre Arambol, Goa, India >> About the workshop Tango and Contact Improvisation are two forms of improvisation that have many points in common while at the same time having different points of views. The one supports the other in a creative and technical process. Technically we will work on the musicality, the axis, and the walking as fundamentals for recognizing the Tango. We will then explore the structure of the body as support, the relationship with the gravity, and the awareness of one's center to other's to open spherical possibilities of movement as fundamentals from Contact Improvisation. The creative process will look for its source in the highly poetic images from Tango and the less common, but not less poetical images from Contact. Through the lesson we will create this dialogue full of play, music and images. >> Registrations INTEREST FORM https://forms.gle/cM5XaoAPVJaQ9XWo8 PRICE: Early bird (till 1st November): Indian residents: 4,000 INR Foreign nationals: 5,000 INR Regular price: Indian residents: 5,500 INR Foreign nationals: 6,800 INR CONTACT: +91 9943368410 (WhatsApp Kay) [email protected] >> About Facilitators Miguel Strebel (Switzerland, Barcelona) Part of the contact dancers, artists and creators of Barcelona. Dragqueen, musician and stilt walker who has been dancing for over 30 years. He is deeply interested in the rituality of performance and the health of dancing. He brings a great humor and passion to his teaching and research, where his peculiar being comes out fully. Leilani Weis (Chile, Spain) I am a dancer, mover and researcher of movement as a creative process. I am very curious about my own body and others bodies dancing, together or alone. I live dance as an act of presence and attention, where I receive information from myself, from others and from the environment. With these I can play, compose and create and feel great joy. My work focuses on the mechanics of bodies on Earth and how it affects us. When I come into contact with others, with space I let myself be affected equally. The dance space, filled with information, is my place to practice presence and attention. In the classes I try to open possibilities for practitioners/dancers to find their own organic, biological and natural paths, the ones the body possesses and we so often forget. I trust in the beauty and natural organisation of the body and seek its wise ways. My work world is moving around, teaching classes, facilitating labs, performing, organizing CI events and creating pieces.
