UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
Principle/Form with Andrew Wass
Marameo, Berlin March 16, 2025​
March 16, 2025
15:00 - 19:00
Every principle can generate multiple forms.
Every form embodies multiple principles.
Part workshop, part laboratory, we will explore nuances and facets of different partnering pathways. We will attune into ourselves, gravity, and partners using foundational principles of contact improvisation. One intention for this workshop is to deconstruct several forms so that people new-ish to CI can gain familiarity with them. We will practice these forms, linking them in various sequences, and then improving the through, around, and between them. This will enable us to flow through the 3 stages of improvisation: listening, flowing, improvising.

Ensemble Thinking at dance ranch marfa
With Nina Martin, Leslie Scates, Kelly Dalrymple-Wass and Andrew Wass
​
August 4-8, 2025
This performance lab is a rigorous investigation of the relationship between the self and the group in an art-making context. The workshop is intended to provide dedicated spaces for collective/individual learning and exploration. We use this time in Marfa to work, investigate, and collectively widen compositional, sensorial, and performance skills. Using Ensemble Thinking, ReWire Movement States, and Contact Improvisation as points of departure, we will investigate the intra-relationships of the solo body, the weighted body and the ensemble.The days consist of two blocks of time in the studio. The performance lab will end with a performance that is open to the public.
