Tanz die Toleranz
lived integration via structured chaos
Dance the Tolerance is a piece of lived integration sendig out a signal to our society. Children and teen-agers show how simple integration functions. Young people from different nations and origins, dancers and lovers of moving will be invited by ImPulsTanz and Caritas Vienna to leave their daily life behind and spend one week with the Venezualean dancer/choreographer/improviser and humanist David Zambrano. They will have fun in the studio getting to know dance and each other.
The technique Flying Low developed by David focuses mainly on the dancers' relationship to the ground. Simple movement patterns involve breathing, speed, and the release of energy through the body, playing with structured chaos and mainly dancing a lot physically.
