Contact/Experimental Tango Special: "Non-binary Tango"


Olaya Aramo


Beyond detaching tango roles from gender assumptions and unrolling the movement itself, there’s still a body in the search for its own identity as a human being. In this workshop, we will focus on the subtle aspects of tango poetics and movement practice which link ourselves to our own experience of identity, and how it is mediated through our embodied tango practice.

Have you ever wondered why the legs are said to start at the plexus and even higher to have a nice dissociation?

We are raising money for more gender self-determination! We are trans, intersex and non-binary people (TIN people) from Berlin as well as our supporters. In order to register our gender in accordance with our identity, laws need to be changed and court cases need to be fought. We are thankful for every donation.
