- Juan Capriotti & Graciana Romeo
Juan Capriotti & Graciana Romeo with a very strong professional training, in music and classical dances are the reference couple of Rosário - Argentina. With excellent teaching capacity they aim the energy, the balance and the dynamic movements between the couple. Juan and Graciana, propose an integral work of the person where movement and feeling is transformed into a single thing: TANGO. The work begins with "Propedéutica of the Dance" for the initiation to the tango, the method is based on the infantile games and the observation of how the daily movements were developed. It means to coordinate the movements for a better development and understanding of the motor capacity. The result would be a body with possibilities, which means not to train it like an object of being able, but of feeling it truly free.
Like last year, the Festival venue is Dieselverkstaden, the more than 150 year-old Atlas Copco industrial building which has been refurbished into a beautiful centre for cultural
events, with an adjoining restaurant.
