Yoga & Flying Low Workshop

July 22-26
9,00-9,55 Yoga
10,00-11,30 Flying Low

I embody and share the knowledge of David Zambrano’s Flying Low technique adapted to my own artistic vision and needs, always taking care of the temporary group that is formed for the class. I see it as a technique that teaches my body spiralling pathways and skills to move in and out of the floor in a very direct and intentional way - it's something I always keep in my pocket using it when in need, as with other techniques.

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

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 in order to activate the centre. There is a special attention given to the extremities as extensions of the centre 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 further develop. The idea of our body as one and how to reach within ourselves can be later on anyone’s artistic practice and in life in general.
