Today we CELEBRATE the moment when we discover movement through our body, it amazes us and makes us wonder, then we coordinate, we learn and we move to find places where we can not reach if it weren’t for MOVEMENT through our life. We start imagining, constructing, revealing and manifesting movement as an expression, as something sacred and divine, as a "let go” - then it becomes less active, calm, settled, existing just in our memory but completely ALIVE. Then we take a Pause. This to me, is the DANCE of life. It follows everyone’s journey. It is the language of the soul represented through the body. It unites us. Therefore let’s celebrate today our divine gift.
This video is dedicated to everyone who has collaborated with ezdanza, many who appear here, to explore, create and produce artwork through the milieu of contemporary dance and circus in order to gather, touch and support the unfolding potential of every human being. Congratulations to every single artist in this INTERNATIONAL DAY OF DANCE.
LÍNEAS where there is nothing extra, nothing missing, just a constant neutrality which travels through the pure joy of beauty found in constant interaction as human beings and nature, building an atmosphere of sacred stability. Stillness through movement.
Inspired by LHASA DE SELA songs and part of TRIPTYQUE 2019 at École national de cirque de Montreal.

"...Zendejas managed to convey the intensely emotional experience it is to live. A beautiful balance of stillness and movement, alternating between intense and soft, was created with anywhere from one to twenty-one bodies. Zendejas and his dancers deserved no less than the cheers and standing ovation that the entire Granada audience did not hesitate to give, having presented one of the most beautiful pieces of work Santa Barbara has seen this year.

Since its inception, ezdanza has been an expression of constant collaborative work, inspired by the creative energy between interpretive artists and director; this synergy is built on a foundation of reciprocal Respect, Authenticity, Equanimity, Unity, Integrity and Stability.
Now, 10 years later, ezdanza is celebrating its story of challenge and success, and would like to share a few creative moments from its first decade of life; a life that exists thanks to the dedicated cooperation, trust and talents from a rich community of artists, dancers, audiences, donors and friends.
Honouring Freedom, Simplicity and Beauty, the universe of Colibri gives thanks to the Sacred that slumbers within us always. An inner journey toward unexplored horizons, where the royal and majestic slow-motion of an elephant could well intersect the graceful and mesmerizing speed of a hummingbird, and where Life would be only pure joy and celebration.

Edgar Zendejas in residence in Richmond once again with Realms of Amber, a new work that is both deeply spiritual and soulful, while bearing his own unique sense of cool and enviable calm. First introduced to Richmond audiences though the New Works Festival in 2014, Mr. Zendejas has found inspiration in some of the beliefs that are closest to his heart for his upcoming world premiere. “I follow a very strong spiritual path, and I believe that the soul or spirit of anybody – a woman or a man – is actually female,” explained Mr. Zendejas. “There’s an energy inside of you that’s female, which to me, means there is something that is good. I’m very attracted by this beauty, and by the beauty of women. And in my culture, Mexican culture, we celebrate women. They are icons – our mothers, sisters, grandmothers. This female figure is very strong in our lives, and gives us a very strong sense of support. So I wanted to do a piece that was about the strength of women.”Photo.
