A lot of food for thought - probably worth rewatching to pick up more, but the ones which I caught and will ponder as being relevant to a tango dancer are:<br /><br />Listening with the whole body ('the resonating chamber'!), not just the ears. I think it's like feeling the music inside you.<br /><br />The difference between 'interpretation' and 'translation'. The former requires bringing something personal and emotional to the musical act.<br /><br />Any given physical 'technique' is important as a means to an end - which I take to be 'interpretation' in this case. It's a good idea to always question what you can use it for. If you don't know, then why spend time on it.<br /><br />On another note, have watched EG perform live before and was astounded by the breadth and depth of sound this tiny bare footed woman could generate on a stage strewn with formidable instruments. She could create a forest of sound - living, breathing, pulsing. Highly recommend it if you have the opportunity.Game Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01195479103119853847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-46263835481408637522011-06-10T07:42:36.346+01:002011-06-10T07:42:36.346+01:00It's breathtaking!
