David Zambrano’s Flying-Low technique focuses on the relationship of the performer/dancer with the floor/earth, using simple movement patterns that involve breathing, velocity and energy liberation through the body as a way to activate the relationship of the center with the articulations and thus proposing a bigger efficiency in the movement inside and out of the floor. One of the most important assumptions of this technique is: “I am space, therefore I am the room”. In this practice, the dynamics of the class increases progressively using the imagination; diverse states of corporeal consciousness are explored as well as the density of the space. Some of the exercises are made in pairs for a better understanding of the physical properties and of the specific quality of the movement.

P.Prazeres proposes a laboratory to explore relations, inner rhythms, outer rhythms, touch and vibrations. Bridging landscape and dance through touch and rhythm , we will explore the meaning of the ethereal in the making of a dance. A common space and a common time seized by the encounters with ourselves, the other and the space. You’re warmly welcome to share these moments.

This workshop consists in a strong practical component and intents to raise the senses so these can become triggers of information stored in spatial and temporal relationships and events. A second phase, also oriented by an intense corporal practice, will be directed towards a work of individual composition. In a mix between collective and individual work, the workshop will be oriented through information about how each person prepares their bodies to execute a creative work and its relationship with an outside look.

Some other guidelines will be suggested about how to research and it will be up to each individual to know what s/he wants or how s/he wants to deal will the tools that are shared. The work it’s up to each one to create, the research is subject of the strategies that each one uses. The materialization of the artistic object is an accumulation of that dialogue.

This workshop takes as a premise the communicative potential of movement and its consequences for the one who attends as well as for the one that motivates it. The line of investigation has its basis in a work about identity, presence, communication and narrative and has its climax in the production of small individual performative objects that will be confronting each one in the workshop’s finale. The aim is to experiment new senses towards what’s been built and trigger processes that may inspire future projects of the participants.
