INTENSIVE A:
TRIO, THE EXPANSION OF THE DUO

mit Cacu Lucero

The trio dance in contact allows us to strengthen listening and communication. Therefore, we will study the possibility of being a structure, being at the service of the other duo, using the other structures and co-creating dynamics through improvisation. Going through these possibilities, we will play to discover these possible „roles“ to use them in the tango embrace, with 2 or 3 people and the communication flows that happen within this trio. What is it like to share a walk with 3 people? Who „porposes“? Always in contact? Am I structure or do I use another structure?

CACU LUCERO

Cacu Lucero, born in Mar del Plata, a city by the sea in Argentina. For more than twenty-one years, he has been teaching, dancing and developing his own way of teaching tango, paying close attention to musicality, dynamics and possibilities. Contact Impro and „Expresion Corporal dance“ had been present in the last 16 years, making a strong influence in his dancing perspective. Clown, acting lessons, Contemporary Dance, Capoeira and many other disciplines that he has studied have also had a strong influence on his particular pedagogy.

In 2011, together with Roxana Umpierr started developing „tango experimental“ which was later unified and renamed as Tangocontact. Research that is in constant development. Focusing on bringing out every person’s color. Offering possibilities that allow each person to develop his or her own dance. With joy and softness, in a playful way.

He is always teaching tangocontact and tango in Argentina and in many countries of the world. Since 2006, he has taken part in International Tango festivals both in Argentina and Europe. In addition, He has taught Tangocontact in Contact Improvisation festivals.

In constant movement. In constant change. Like the waves of the sea.

Exploring, merging, playing.In his own words, “I am fascinated by the possibilities of transmitting a sensation, an idea, a process… and how whoever receives it will interpret it and dance it.”
