Performance at Still & Moving Center’s Birthday Celebration on Sunday, March 16, 4:00 – 5:30pm
Our Argentine Tango Performance Series with Josefina Stellato goes beyond improvised dance and incorporates tango into performances for the stage. Stage tango allows for the expression of a wide range of emotions through movement and storytelling, while exercising memory, technical skills, musicality and group coordination.
In this 9-session series we work on choreographies and short tango shows to be performed at various artistic events on island, including Still & Moving Center’s Birthday Celebration on Sunday, March 16, 4-5:30pm!
Registering for this series is a commitment to attend all sessions to be prepared to perform.
All starting levels welcome. You will progress from wherever you start!
Do you recall the first time that watching a tango performance virtually swept you off your feet?!? That’s the feeling you’ll get watching and learning with Josefina Stellato! The closeness, the confidence, the breath-taking swoops and tantalizing pauses…
Josefina Stellato has been dancing Argentine tango at the highest level for more than two decades. She’s now arrived at Still & Moving Center as our Artist in Residence for about 6 months!
As a performer, Josefina has been a member of renowned choreographer Leonardo Cuello’s tango company at the National University of the Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She’s been a cast member of Social Tango Project for the past decade, performing in multiple theaters in Buenos Aires! In 2023, Josefina participated in the company’s North American tour and performed at Kennedy Center in New York City.
As a teacher, Josefina deepened her understanding of pedagogy under the direction of Dana Frigoli and the DNI Tango school in Buenos Aires, where Josefina served as a senior faculty member. She was also an official member of the DNI Tango Company, where she participated in the live shows “Dos, lo que se disuelve”, “Asimétrico”, “Seres Materiales”; a film version of “Dos”, and “Remueve la piel suspire”, which Josefina created and choreographed.
Josefina has taught and performed at international festivals in Europe and during the pandemic gained a devoted following for her online lessons. Welcome to Still & Moving Center, live and in person, Josefina!
