Infinite pathways, trajectories, and possibilities within a limited space.
Passing Through is an improvisation method developed over the past three decades by David Zambrano. Its structural elements are walking, running, and pausing. Through exercises such as leader/follower, over/under/around, inviting/being invited and flocking, we explore how a group of people can create a dynamic environment that is constantly changing and evolving.
Participants are confronted with the decisions they make within the group without ever getting lost, as they are continuously either following or leading—until the group becomes one entity.
The workshop is free
Registration is by reservation at kidf@kalamatadancefestival.gr
