P I A Z Z O L L A - M E E T I N G 2 0 0 2 25-27 October 2002 Lausanne/Switzerland.
A WEEK-END OF WORKSHOPS, MUSIC & DANCE The success of last year's "Milonga Meeting 2001" marked the beginning of the "Meetings" organised by Shawn & Cathy under the banner of "Tango Nomade". This year, the association has gone a step further, and has organised a series of weekends culminating in an extended weekend event of tango for DANCERS wanting to work to the music of ASTOR PIAZZOLLA. The PIAZZOLLA-MEETING-2002 is taking place on the shores of lake Geneva on the southern edge of Switzerland. It is starring the talented (and very appreciated) argentine dance-couple FERNANDA Ghi & GUILLERMO Merlo (Argentina), plus the dancers SHAWN & CATHY (Canada & Switzerland/Poland), and the scholarly poet/writer/philosopher NORBERTO GIMMELFARB. Come prepared for three evenings of dance (including exhibitions and tango-Ball with SURESTE TANGO for the Saturday-night live-music and DJ-Cathy for the rest!) and three days of special-theme workshops such as: Ideas to START and FINISH a Tango - for leaders AND followers. How to dance on Piazzolla in an Expressive manner IN CROWDED MILONGAS. Musical periods of Piazzolla and 3 propositions for dance-interpretation. What exactly is this MUSIC used throughout the weekend (conference)?! CHOREOGRAPHY on Piazzolla for Intermediate & Advanced dancers. Piazzolla for Beginners (inspired by Juan Carlos Copes' choreography). Research for LIBERTY and FREEDOM in the music. Tango is also a "happy thought"... that is danced.
