Para qué: Para hacer llegar el Tango Argentino a aquellos que quieran disfrutar (también) el proceso de aprendizaje como una experiencia en sí misma. Para quien: Este ensayo es, por un lado, para aquellas personas que quieran aprender a bailar tango y no tienen idea por dónde ni con quién empezar. Por otro lado, para los que tengan vocación de transmitirlo, ya sea como: instructores de tango; enseñantes; profesores de tango o coaches, con quienes deseo compartir y desarrollar juntos esta actividad. Cómo: Este ensayo propone la figura del Coach como un profesional con habilidades que van más allá de bailar tango de forma vistosa. El mismo es alguien capaz de invitarnos a reflexionar, de descubrir nuestra capacidad de sentir y de confiar en nuestra percepción. Nos invita a hacernos conscientes de nosotros mismos, de nuestro/a compañero/a de baile y del entorno. Él respeta nuestros tiempos y tiene claro que su acción siempre va a estar al servicio nuestro y en función de nuestros objetivos. ¿Por qué? Porque, por lo general, cuando buscamos un profesor de tango en buenos aires, o en cualquier lugar del mundo, no tenemos claros estándares para evaluar y elegir a quién pueda ser el mejor para acompañarnos durante las lecciones de tango. ¿Donde? ¿Con quién tomar las primeras clases de tango? ¿Qué cualidades debe tener esta persona? ¿Tiene más que ver con los “pasos básicos” del tango o con las relaciones humanas? ¿Para qué quiero tomar clases? ¿Cómo puedo monitorear mi progreso en el aprendizaje? A través de las "Tres consciencias" vamos a descubrir "El Tango", sin que nadie nos tenga que "enseñar". Consciencia propia: nuestro cuerpo, la emoción que nos despierta la música y el ritmo, nuestra respiración, nuestro deseo y emoción al encontrarme con alguien en un abrazo de tango. Consciencia del otro: su mirada, los "Silencios", la tensión entre nuestros cuerpos, equilibrio, la honestidad, la coherencia y el respeto entre otras. Consciencia del entorno: la energía, las personas que nos rodean, las reglas o etiqueta del lugar, las tandas y el DJ de tango entre tantas otras cosas que están esperando a ser descubiertas dentro de un maravilloso "Abrazo de Tango". Viendo al Tango como una danza social: Reflexionando, también, sobre las “habilidades sociales” necesarias para poder ir a bailar a las milongas y disfrutar de una actividad única. Abordando temas complejos como: "el vestuario", los personajes característicos, "el cabeceo", los celos, el orgullo y muchos otros detalles que conviene tener en cuenta dentro de un espacio de actividad social. Tango en las escuelas: Fomentando el desarrollo de valores humanos a través de dinámicas de tango con niños y adultos en instituciones educativas. Marketing cultural: abordando el Tango como un activo cultural cuyo crecimiento se ha ido dando de forma poco profesional debido a la falta de modelos de negocios en gran parte de la industria del Tango y proponiendo una planificación que facilite su aprendizaje, participación y promoción. Beneficios y áreas de investigación. Por último aborda algunos de los tantos beneficios de bailar tango invitando a su investigación y desarrollo en áreas diversas como la salud (Parkinson/Alzheimer), la psicología y las áreas de recursos humanos entre tantas otras disciplinas que puedan usar al tango como plataforma de desarrollo. Advertencia: Este no es un libro de tango, ni sobre los pasos para bailar tango en Buenos Aires. Este es un libro sobre personas, seres humanos que se abrazan y se relacionan de una manera muy particular en un «medio ambiente» con reglas propias. Adrián Luna es Coach ontológico certificado, bailarín social, orador internacional y está vinculado con el tango desde el año 1996.

Ensayo sobre el arte de abrazar personas

• Are you looking for an Argentine Tango teacher? • Do you want to learn to dance tango? • Are you looking for a private tango lesson? • How to know who a good tango teacher is? • Do you want to become a tango teacher? Then you can read this book! NOTIFICATION: This is not a tango book, nor about how to learn the steps to dance tango in Buenos Aires. This is a book about people, human beings who embrace and relate in a very particular way in an "environment" with their own rules. In the Coach, I find a professional and appropriate figure to accompany us in learning this "language." I consider it appropriate to compare him with a gardener who knows about the weather, the seasons and irrigation techniques, among many other things. It is taken with seriousness and professionalism to prepare the ground to offer the seed the conditions that satisfy and accompany its development. He is a great observer and takes into account even the smallest details. However, he has confidence and believes in the potential that exists within the seed. He doesn't need to see what it has inside or check how much fruit it's going to produce... This mystery seems wonderful to me and is revealed little by little during the process of germination and growth. This essay is, on the one hand, for those who are "gardeners" by vocation, with whom I wish to seriously develop this activity. On the other hand, it's for those people who want to learn to dance the tango and have no idea where or who to start with. Through this path we can end up getting to know ourselves a little more. Be attentive! WARNING: By knowing the tango you are in serious risk of falling in love with the activity, its music and its people.

DT & G Magazine - www.Design-Bookshelf.com If you care for your craft, you'd be foolish indeed to let this opportunity slip away. Book of the year. Photoshop User Magazine, January 2002 The variety of artwork and approaches is a definite plus. CGI Magazine, February 2002 Not just a book about graphics, it's a work of art in itself. As a piece of software, Adobe Photoshop is rare - perhaps alone - in evoking genuine passion from its users. As it evolves, it finds its way into the lives of more and more professional creators, tempting them away from their traditional materials, and expanding their horizons. Yes, it can alter photographs. It can also alter careers. New Masters of Photoshop is a showcase of Masters who use Photoshop, and Masters of Photoshop use. The photographers, animators, artists, and designers assembled here have a myriad of different skills: some manipulate, some animate, some create from scratch. All of them produce remarkable, beautiful things. In these pages, the authors will demonstrate examples of their print work, web work, public work, and private work, explaining the techniques they use to achieve their results. More than that, though, they'll tell you how they think: who their influences are, where their ideas come from, and how they find inspiration when the well has run dry. friends of ED has scoured the world for the leading exponents of Photoshop technique. This book is a gallery of Photoshop practice and theory, backed with essays on the influences and inspirations that lie behind the sharpest digital art in today's media-saturated world. The book deconstructs sophisticated, complex, and astonishing Photoshop graphics, providing motivation, skills and inspiration in equal parts. Support for this book is available on the friends of ED web site (friendsofed.com). From the Publisher Creating a Photoshop image is a process that occurs as much in the head as it does on the screen. Uniquely, New Masters of Photoshop documents it all, from the seeds of an idea, to the outcome on screen, paper, or canvas. The projects include examples of collage and montage that involve manipulation of whole images and tiny fragments - working on a grand scale, and at a pixel-by-pixel level. Layers and masks, with all their subtleties, are used in fascinating ways; and filters are treated with the sensitivity and discretion they require.
