ContactTango Laboratory - Test Tube Experiment #3
Champaign (The Big Bubbly)
Saturday, February 5, 2011
Krannert Art Museum
500 E Peabody Drive, Champaign IL
12-4pm
Contact Tango Workshop
Hosted By: Jeff Wallace and Chantelle Hougland
Blending contact improvisation with argentine tango, we will explore possibilities for new ways of moving together thru space, sharing weight, honing our perception of space, and re-orienting ourselves to the concept of lead-follow, follow-lead. The workshop will be followed by an open Laboratory/Jam session with DJ and progressive, nuevo tango, and other alternative styles of music. Both the class and jam session are open to everyone.
Participants should have some movement experience/kinesthetic awareness (not necessarily contact dance or tango) and a openness to dancing closely with others, and an adventurous spirit.
