Cristina will embody and share the knowledge of David Zambrano’s Flying Low technique adapted to her own artistic vision and needs, always taking care of the temporary group formed for the class. A technique that teaches the body spiraling pathways and skills to move in and out of the floor directly and intentionally.

In the practice, the dynamics increase progressively using imagery and touch by exploring and exploding each short exercise, where participants are challenged to find solutions through experimenting, figuring out the pathways which cross their bodies, rather than established formulas or shapes. Dancers will work on the principles and the states rather than the exercises, and everyone is challenged to disconnect from the usual right & left or front & back ideas.

The technique focuses on the relationship with the floor by utilizing simple movement sequences and by practicing speed and the release of energy throughout the body to activate the center. Special attention is given to the extremities as extensions of the center and indicators of direction, proposing awareness and clarity to the movement. 

The material challenges each participant to discover the primary laws of physics: cohesion and expansion and, therefore, many basic exercises are deconstructed into a more explorative work to achieve the needed individual state to develop further. The idea of the body as one and how to reach within will be useful to everyone’s artistic practice and life, in general.
