Flying Low & Passing Through

Flying Low & Passing Through techniques were originally created by David Zambrano... In 2010 Leila became certified to teach her own development of the techniques under 50 days of Flying Low & Passing Through with David Zambrano in Costa Rica.

Flying Low: We love the floor.  So we will go in and out of it all workshop - sliding, diving, rolling, gliding, jumping and suspending.  We will dissolve the hard floor into a lush swimming pool by transforming our bodies into water.  Through individual and group movement phrases we will challenge gravity, learning how to fall, how to rise, and how to command our body as we change qualities.  Using all speeds, directions and energy levels, we will go from static to sweaty to surprised, and then back again.  We will Fly.  Low.

Passing Through: an improvisation technique working with Zambrano’s philosophy that movement needs no leader in creation.  Specifically working with adaptation, interconnecting with everyone and the room at all times, transforming the environment of the dance.  We work to see the room full of pathways - infinite pathways passing through the walls, the floor and the bodies.  These pathways go in any direction and are filled with curves both large and small with visible and invisible spirals constantly passing through.  Thus the passing through is created into a wild spontaneous composition.
