Soul project

Soul Project dance workshop, led by David Zambrano, invites participants into a deep solo journey based on his acclaimed 2006 performance. Dancers are challenged to move with emotional depth and spontaneity, shifting through diverse states of mind in a single flow. Originally performed more than 100 times across continents, it received strong praise from The New York Times and The New Yorker

During this workshop, David Zambrano will guide the participants through a special solo journey where everyone will experience some of the principles that were used during the creation of Soul Project (premiered in 2006). Dancers will be challenged to move as hot, as spontaneous, as deep (and yet as superficial) as the soul singers in their concerts, passing from one state of mind into another in one shot.

The dance creation Soul Project premiered in 2006 with a wide cast of international dancers and toured extensively (performed more than 100 times) through different countries all across the world (ex: Belgium, Poland, Slovenia, Senegal, Costa Rica, South Korea, and the USA). The work received raving reviews in New York Times and NewYorker Magazine.

“There’s a riveting solo by Zambrano in which the space around him seems full of menacing beauty – things that he reaches for, things that cause his body to contort, recoil, fall. Yet his dancing is, as always, boundlessly resilient.”
