Passing Through

We work toward defining a shared but invisible space punctuated by "pathways", the group of dancers creates its own dynamic, flexible and complex language without needing to designate a leader. Several bodies interact spontaneously and harmoniously, as though a single conscience was leading them.

The Passing Through takes the dancers through various exercises to manifest Zambrano’s philosophy that movement needs no leader in creation. The dancers will create dynamics that will be flexible and complex at the same time, getting the group to fit tight together, yet always keeping doors open for the unpredictable. The group moves constantly, transforming the environment of the dance. The dancers work to sense the room full of invisible curved pathways. These pathways become visible as soon as the dancers start moving through the room. Thus the Passing Through is created into a spontaneous composition. When the group becomes one mind, it can never get lost, it is always going somewhere. There is never one person leading or following, everyone is leading or following, depending on the situation. The whole group is constantly travelling practising infinite possibilities inside a defined environment.

Please note: This is NOT a drop-in class. Do not book this workshop, if you are not sure to be able to commit for the whole week.
