-THE TTA TEAM-
WHO WORKS
AT THE ARCHIVE?
We're Daniel & Phoenix- more information on us below!
The Archive, however, is a product of so many talented, generous, hard-working people.
From the artists who worked with me, Daniel, back in the 80s and 90s, to everyone who has helped behind-the-scenes to get the Archive to where it is right now to be shared with the world.
You know who you are and I am so grateful for your help bringing this project alive to share - thank you.
Find out more about us below and scroll to read in detail about the plans for profit sharing, supporting Tango organizations on the ground in Buenos Aires, and reinvestment as and when the Archive becomes profitable.
DANIEL TRENNER
ACCIDENTAL ARCHIVIST & TANGO REVIVALIST
Followed love to Buenos Aires in 1987
Studied Tango through an experience of the social culture in the dance halls, and learning with the Milonguer@s featured throughout the archive
Began Bridge to the Tango Tours in Buenos Aires
I took my camera with me in the 80s and 90s and passed it around at milongas, performances and classes saying "Film everything!", and amassing this mountain of footage
Became a touring Tango teacher and performer
Created the Tango Catalogue, the first Tango Store in North America.
Now, after caring for my parents as they passed, I've settled in Florence, MA, USA, teaching at The Five Colleges, and hosting guest artists and residencies for touring artists
