ABOUT WORKSHOP


The Flying low technique - this focuses mainly on the dancer's relationship with the floor. The class utilizes simple movement patterns that involve breathing, speed and the release of energy throughout the body in order to activate the relationship between the center and the joints, moving in and out of the ground more efficiently by maintaining a centered state. There is a focus on the skeletal structure that will help improve the dancer's physical perception and alertness. The class includes partner work and movement phrases, which explore the primary laws of physics: cohesion and expansion.


In the making of movement compositions, David Zambrano focuses on creating and developing the dynamics for complex systems to present leadership in the form of a group web. You will learn to instantly connect with your environment and become more spontaneous in the making of choices as an improviser, choreographer or dancing in someone else's work.
