Developed by David Zambrano, Passing Through is a highly physical practice that works to improve the dancers physical perception and alertness in space. The Passing Through is the making of a spontaneous movement composition, where the focus is on creating and developing 'in the doing' the dynamics for a complex system to present leadership in the form of a group web - seeing the room full of infinite pathways and spirals offering unlimited possibilities. The group moves constantly, transforming the environment of the dance.
