This workshop is for anyone interested in partner work. It proposes conscious body work through a series of exercises comprising of interactions between the art of touch, dance and music. This workshop is open to dancers of argentine tango and any other form of partner dance, as well as to actors, musicians, performers and massage therapists. <\/span><\/p>\n More specifically: <\/span><\/p>\n \u2013 we will explore the states of hook-up, where sensation, intuition and intellect are in constant dialogue; Through research of valid and accurate touch and it\u2019s activation by movement, and by wearing the music like our clothing or by composing it, we will attempt to create a living dialogue, supple and free, and to apprehend the world differently, exploring its connexions, playing with our own perceptions and the traces they leave\u2026 So that in our attentiveness, something wonderful can happen. <\/span><\/p>\n From her first tango class, <\/span>Nancy Lavoie<\/b> was seduced by the rich expressivity of the dance. She travelled to Argentina to study with teachers who experienced the golden age of tango, in order to better understand its sources, traditions and language. From the beginning, she learned both how to guide and be guided. A passionate promoter of tango, in 1995 she founded the first school dedicated to tango in Quebec: l\u2019Avenue Tango. In 2005, she became a member of the Tango Discovery collective, a movement research group based in Buenos Aires where she perfected her pedagogy and developed methods of movement teaching and partner-work inspired by cultural anthropology and the analysis of human phenomena. Nancy is also a piano teacher, holds a bachelor\u2019s in music, is a certified massage therapist in California massage, sports massage, Momentum, and is a Trager<\/span>md<\/span><\/i> practitioner. Since 2007, she is an instructor at the Centre l\u2019Attitude in Californian massage, Abandon corporel, Consciense corporelle as well as massage for pregnant women. She is regularly invited to give intensive workshops and present short choreographic works in New York, Berline, Buenos Aires, Rome, Stockholm, Hamburg, Zurich, Oslo and Paris. <\/span><\/p>\n All workshops are for professional performing artists.
