FLYING LOW – ‘I incorporate and share the knowledge of the Flying Low technique created by David Zambrano, adapted to my artistic vision, always taking care of the temporary group that forms for the class. This technique teaches me about the spirals of my body and my relationship with the floor, moving in a direct and intentional way—it is something I always have with me in my pocket and use when necessary, just like other techniques.

In practice, the dynamics increase progressively, using images and touch to explore and explode each short exercise, through which participants are challenged to find their own solutions by doing, discovering individually which paths cross their bodies, rather than any pre-established form or formula. We will work with principles and states, starting from the exercises, and challenge the usual idea of right and left. The proposed exercises change every day, so there is no need to get attached!

The technique focuses on the relationship with the ground, using simple movement sequences and practicing speed and energy release throughout the body to activate the center. There is special attention 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 in a more exploratory work to achieve the necessary individual state.’
