Introducción al Tango a través de la Improvisación


Desarrollamos autoconocimiento a través del contacto con otros.
La primera manera de saber quién soy es tener un registro de lo que hago.
A este efecto he diseñado situaciones lúdicas que resignifican el espacio y dan prioridad al vínculo con el otro.
El verdadero Tango Danza no tiene que ver con la destreza propia, sino con la capacidad de escuchar al otro y ofrecer contención. La unificación de las dos personas en una sola pareja se da por la reciprocidad del acto de brindarse uno mismo.


We develope ourselves consciense through the contact with others. Our first way to know who I am is to be able to know what am I doing. In order to, I designed situations of game that resignify space and gives priority to the relationship with the other. The truth Tango Danza is not about self hability, but the empathy and the ability to offer ourselves to the other, in order to become one couple from two people. It's about reciprocity.

Shomen (point his face), kirikaeshi, kotegiri (ikkyo)

7*

Shomen

Point his face!, jump to 90 degrees, going to, gyaku yokomen (90º).

2* Uke goes back and up with the ken (position, left hanmi), preparing to attack in Shomen. Uchi enter Tsuki, but he doesn’t find Uke, so, he comes back to original position. When Uchi goes back, Uke cut him in Shomen, or kote, (position, always right hanmi).

4*Uke (defender) defends shomen of the attacker. Uchi(attacker) turn his ken up, with disposition to a new shomen. But Uke enter tsuki to the chest of uchi.

5* In this case, Uke attacks in Shomen. Uchi defends with shomen to his opponent´s ken. Uke take advantage of his enemy’s block and use that impulse to attack in tsuki to the opponent’s chest, (but advancing to left hanmi).

6* like Awase nº1 + Awase nº 3; then, Uchi (attacker) goes to a new Shomen. When his ken is up, Uke cuts his elbow or wrist (in the way of Ikkyo), switching position to left hanmi.

7*Uchi attacks in Shomen. Uke advances to the left in Kirikaeshi and attacks in gyaku yokomen uchi standing in the left side at 90º degrees from his oponent.

(In 7th, when Uchi goes up to attack in shomen, Uchi points his face with intention to cut. After that, kirikaeshi Gyaku Yokomen comes, as I explained before).

Ki munubi no tachi

Saludo, wakigamae, shomen, kirikaeshi, kote giri (to ikkyo).

Terms:

Uke: who goes back.

Uchi: who advances.

Uchi and Uke is different in Aikiken than in empty hands techniques.

kote: wrisp.

Gyaku: other side (left yokomen uchi).

Kirikaeshi: block (up) and cut's in shomen. (The idea of blocking does not exists in Aikido).

Hanmi: position, guard.

For deeper analysis, please consult me. It's a good idea if you can play it and send me a video, so I can see the results of my description!

Coaching: Entrenamiento de Tango y Combate Realista para actores y Bailarines de Tango

Más de 10 años de experiencia en Aikido y Tango Danza me habilitan para asistir a la creación de coreografías de combate cuerpo a cuerpo y Tango Danza tal que sean versátiles y realistas.
El método de entrenamiento que utilizo es suficientemente duro como para que la escena se vea realista, y lo suficientemente suave teniendo en cuenta que con quien trabajo es un actor, no un artista marcial.

La idea de desarrollar este sistema de entrenamiento específico surge de la necesidad de crear la posibilidad de comunicar la tensión interior existente en la danza o en una situación de combate, luego de ver incontables escenas que carecen de sentido común por estar copiando esta clase de situaciones desde una construcción visual, y no desde la experiencia misma.
Mayormente esto sucede con el Tango (hay en el mundo muchos más artistas marciales y coreografos que bailarines de Tango): la gente copia lo que ve, pero lo que sucede en la intimidad de la pareja es absolutamente diferente.

La sola idea de comunicar la experiencia interior al espectador me resulta profundamente entusiasmante.

Algunos ejemplos:

1) Sos un actor, y tenés que rodar una escena en la que tu personaje baila Tango (sólo que no tenés la más mínima idea de Tango Danza, más que lo que viste en TV).
Juntos, vamos a crear algo en medio de "el Tango ideal, correctamente bailado", y las posibilidades reales del personaje que has compuesto:

Hace cuánto que baila?
Está muy nervioso al momento de encarar y abrazar a una mujer?
Qué parte de su cuerpo está mentalmente bloqueada para algunas acciones?
Tiene ticks nerviosos?

2) Sos un actor, y necesitás una coreografía de combate. Querés que tenga un impacto realista en el espectador, pero no querés que luzca como un arte marcial o boxeo, ni nada parecido.

¿Cuánto sabe tu personaje acerca de pelearse?
¿Está tenso?
¿Es más fuerte o más débil que su oponente? ¿Es eso importante para él?
¿Estalla de golpe, ha planeado un ataque...?

3) La ya conocida escena de pelea de cuchillos entre compadritos, muy utilizada en shows de Tango y performances.


More than 10 years of experience in Aikido and Tango Dancing and teaching allows me to create combat and Tango coreographies and make it look versatile and realistic.
The couching method that I use is hard and soft enough for an actor, also for a dancer (for example, a well known knife fight in a Tango show).

The idea to develope this coaching system comes from the needing to create something internal, since i can note when a scene is non realistic to me because it was created from the visual experience, and not from the experience itself.
Mostly, it happens with Tango. Usually, people copy what they see, but what happens inside the couple is totally different.

About Aikido, well, I am a pacific person, so I don't fight. But I can figure out what is the most natural reaction in a fighting situation.
The only idea to communicate the inner experience of dancing is exciting to me.


A few examples:

You are an actor, and you need to perform a Tango Dancing scene (just you haven't any idea about Tango Dancing). Together, we will create something in the middle of "the ideal Tango Dancing" and the ability of your character, taking it from the composition of the character, his psichology, etc:

How long is he dancing?
Is he absolutely relaxed?
How much affroid is he in order to approach a woman and embrace her?
Wich parts of his body are mentally blocked?

We will ask those questions to ourselves, and resolve it in a natural way, making you able to take your Actor decissions.

You are an actor, and need to coreograph a fight. But you don't want some "karate" in there, just make it looks realistic.
How much knowledge have your character about fighting?
Is he agressive? Is he scared? Stronger than his opponent, or week?
He feels angst, tension?

There is when my assistance appears.
