OPEN YOUR (H)EAR(T)

Dancing is a very personal way of expression and a form of art usually very linked to the music. This is more true in some dances where the music has been composed and played expressly to be danced. Tango is one of these and we have to start changing our way of listening to the music in order to be able to understand better what’s happening and how to express our personal feelings.

Main subject of the workshop is the rhythm, as a unique tool to be used in order to understand the fundamental characteristics of the piece and the kind of music that we are going to dance. Starting from the beat, understanding what it is, clarifing the idea of “tiempo and doble tiempo”, using this tools to make music while dancing, discovering deeply what it can offer. Since today, the project did take place in several cities in Italy and abroad: Udine, Milano, Torino, Ferrara, Firenze, Riga (Latvia), Zagreb (Croatia), Heidelberg (Germany), Munich (Germany).

Born in 2006, OPEN YOUR (H)EAR(T) has been created thanks to Mara Maranzana & Michele Usoni, young Italian dancers and teachers from Udine who suggested and supported the idea of this specific work upon the interpretation of music in tango.
