Essential Tango & the Passion Container: Articles
Essential Tango by Sharna Fabiano
The Passion Container by Sharna Fabiano
I first read these articles some time ago, but I just posted them under the Resources section and wanted to make sure everyone has read them. Even if you are not a tango dancer, all of Sharna Fabiano’s articles make for excellent reading. You can visit the website for her nonprofit in D.C. at http://www.tangomercurio.org. Enjoy!
Words of Wisdom
The following quote is from Barry Green’s The Mastery of Music: Ten Pathways to True Artistry. His wise words on the mastery of music can also be said about the mastery of dance. A review of this excellent book has just been posted in the Articles section. Be sure to check it out if you are interested in exploring musicality and artistry in dance further. Enjoy!
“The mastery of the music doesn’t stop with the mastery of musical technique. The musicians we think of as true masters of their art are the ones whose artistry we admire, and that goes way beyond technique, into a place that even the word ‘excellence’ can barely touch, that almost indescribable realm of human depth which we refer to by such terms as ‘character’ and ‘soul’… It’s not about what you do or how you play but about who you are. It’s about the qualities in the soul of the musicians that contribute to true artistry.”
