Contact Improvisation meets Tango in Berlin, Intensive Workshops & Jams
26-27 September and 24-25 October
26-27 September and 24-25 October
Contactango offers a space to develop our own movement through the dance forms of contact improvisation and tango. In a playful dialogue between structure, freedom, fluidity, grounding and levity we will expand our physical awareness and creativity in contact with the others.
It is open to all levels and to anyone curious in widening their movement knowledge.
Particularly the workshop assists:
-tango dancers achieve a joyful physicality through building complicity with their partner and developing their grounding;
-contact improvisation dancers enjoy a deeper connection to their own inner rhythm and imagination through their emotional awareness and its creative forms of expression
Elements of biomecanics, martial arts, physical theatre, bioenergetics and ecological principles will support our newly developed expressivity.
Please bring comfortable clothes, shoes and/or socks. No need to have previous experience neither to come in couples.

60€ single day. Both days: 100€ (early bird before 19 September), 110€ after.
