DELve into an interactive and embodied workshop with Dance Education Laboratory (DEL) that uses multiple lenses to explore the dynamic dance form of Tango as participants learn to consider how to bring Tango into the dance classroom in a culturally sustaining way.

In this workshop participants:

- Explore different approaches to looking at a choreographer’s work 
- Engage in embodied research
- Participate in movement exploration and collaborative dance-making
- Discover applications of workshop content to dance education

Drawing from the extensive resources of Jacob’s Pillow Dance Interactive, participants engage in meaningful dance learning activities that explore diverse dance artists, genres, and eras within a cultural, historic, and social context. Multi-modal teaching strategies include movement observation, embodied reflection, reconstruction practices, collaborative research, and collective dance-making.

Workshop registrants will receive a 20% discount to the same-day matinee performance of Social Tango Project in the Ted Shawn Theatre, subject to ticket availability.
