"The Heart of Tango," by Johnny Robinson
"The Heart of Tango" was directed and produced by Johnny Robinson, a professor of animation at Rochester Institute of Technology. The film examines what defines Argentine Tango dancing, and stars world-class dancers Colette Herbert and Richard Council. Johnny Robinson's early film career began in 1972 in San Francisco with actor/director Curtis Imrie. Johnny worked on low budget dramatic feature films as well as documentaries on Western outdoor themes. Starting in 1976, Johnny turned to graphic design and illustration. He entered Syracuse University in 1984 where he received his BA with Honors in illustration, and an MFA, also in illustration. In 1991, Johnny started commercial animation with producer Bruce MacCurdy in Syracuse, New York. This led to work in a local animation studio; Animotion. Johnny began teaching animation at Rochester Institute of Technology in 1999 and served as Animation Department Chair from 2000 to 2003. www.johnnyrobinson.com
