As a visual artist and a tango dancer, I am fascinated by the visual nature of the dance and the gestural aspect of mark making. Tango is about connection (connecting with the music, with your partner and to the floor) This video is my way of expressing these connections.music: Arvo Part, Osvaldo Pugliese and Carlos Di Sarli video: Jan RaeAlternate YouTube link: https://youtu.be/GLp1_ZZUDl8- mp4 file DANCING PIECEPerformance Drawing (dancers: Jan Rae and Crismen Tache 2016)Black Box UNSW, Sydney, Australia'dancing with Crismen and drawing with my feet'video: Jan RaeAlternate YouTube link: https://youtu.be/13D5yON5Mcw- mp4 file You do not currently have access to this content.
