The practice of dance improvisation, "Passing through ..." and the technique of dance, "Flying Low"
"Turning life happens ..."
"Going through .." (Passing Through) and "Flying Low Tech" (Flying Low) is a dance technique and improvisation, invented by the renowned choreographer David Zambrano, which for a new generation of dancers is an icon and a strong point of reference in creative work. His philosophy of movement affects not only the language of the stage, but also the attitude of life and a reflection of the entity in the modern world. Fundamentals of movement of Zambrano is the practice of "flexibility", not only the body but the mind and the ability to adapt to any situation and to use life experience at any time. Spontaneously.
Flying low-technology "Flying Low" - is the process of finding a spiral, in body and space, as a fundamental principle of this technique. It uses an intensive work "going into and out of the groung", studying the relationship between the dancer and the floor focusing on work and power of feet. What is more, the Flying Low uses elements such as the treatment of body and space as an inseparable whole, aware gathering and sending energy, using voice to the commands to your body and energy. This is a practice that seeks to integrate the physical, emotional and spiritual techniques in one motion. Speed, risk and joy. Flying Low is an essential and necessary training to the practice of improvisation called Passing Through.
