Learning to use one’s life experience, being able to consciously and
continuously shape one’s energy integrating the body and mind, time
and space through the practice of dance improvisation, students learn
to create instant pieces of dance onstage in front of an audience.

The workshop begins with students improvising solos, duets, and small
groups utilizing the class as an audience. Zambrano pushes the
students to realize that there is always something more inside and
that performing is spontaneous. The students are urged to break down
old habits to search for new possibilities. Change is vital to this
training as the student is asked to constantly change their vocabulary
into something new. How do you use your power? How do you redefine
what you know, turn it on and off to explore something new? The
student become more flexible as they learn to communicate within their
bodies, the bodies of fellow performers, and the environment in which
they are working. Zambrano asks his students to accept everything one
can imagine, especially the impossible, and to learn to call upon them
when creating an improvisation.

„My workshops are very physical. Whoever wants to take it, she/he must
know that we are moving our thoughts all day.“ D.Z.
