TANGO – THE ART OF LISTENING

Duration: 3 hours

In this course, we are discovering tango as a medium of listening to another by listening to oneself.

In tango, we move together with a partner, making contact moment to moment. It is a continuously new, fresh relating between bodies, an improvisation, which depends on the moment and one another’s listening.

Although the roles of the leader and the follower exist, in moments of union, these roles disappear.

What changes in us when we are with another? In what way can we stay in touch with ourselves while in contact with another? How to invite qualities of leading and how to be let go to being led?

Through exercises with a partner, playing with melody and rhythm, inquiring into our patterns in relating with another, we find new possibilities of creative body expression.
