A one-day long workshop with Laure Fourest.
-- CONTENT --
Tango Anatomy has developed extensive work on how the body functions in Tango based on the characteristics of anatomy. We will offer the opportunity to exchange on how we experiment with our body while dancing, on how we experience pleasure and discomfort, our delightful moments and our painful ones. We will seek solutions in order to prevent pain or discomfort while developing technical, musical and interactive qualities for dancing partners.
This year, the workshop will go deeper into the way our body deals with spiral movement (dissociation) in ochos/boleos and volcos.
Followers are usually more used to the spiral movement than leaders who tend to under-rate it. We will deal with:
- the many ways we set foot on the floor so as to find energy from it.
- the position of our pelvis and how to protect lumbar vertabrae
- our back how to bring it to life
- the shoulder-blades and how to move them
- the elasticity and dynamic of our body
- work on the axis
- balanced guiding as well as managing energy in order to gain in comfort, power and precision
- harmony, tone and the relaxation of partners’ bodies to improve communication and connection while dancing.
This workshop is made for both dancers who already joined last year’s workshop and who will benefit from an extensive follow-up as well as for newcomers.
