[Tango-A] NA-E: Seminar in Choreographic Composition with Damian Lobato, Andres Amarilla and Meredith Klein

[Meredith Klein]

The Philadelphia Argentine Tango School
(http://philadelphiatangoschool.com) is pleased to announce a seminar
on Choreographic Composition taught by Damian Lobato, Andres Amarilla
& Meredith Klein.

The seminar will look at ways in which we develop criteria for
identifying and creating musically, compositionally, and
aesthetically-convincing sequences in tango. Students will create and
refine their own sequences with continuous input from the three
instructors, and benefit from each instructor's viewpoint on matters
of functionality, aesthetics and musicality. The ultimate goal of this
endeavor, of course, is for students to develop the ability to create
successful sequences "on-the-fly" in improvisation, while responding
to the specific requirements of the dance floor, music and the partner
with whom they're dancing.

We will not be changing partners in this seminar. Students should come
with a partner and plan to work with that partner for the entire
class.

The seminar is geared for intermediate- and advanced-level students,
and students will work within the confines of steps and sequences with
which they're already comfortable. The purpose of the seminar is not
to teach new steps, but for students to maximize their creativity with
the resources currently at their disposal.

Please email meredithklein at gmail.com to register or with questions.
The seminar is already half-full so please consider registering soon

This seminar will take place over two sessions. Students may register
for either session or both.
