Open Level CI class at Marameo
This ongoing class focuses on building technical awareness and strength for Contact Improvisation. By engaging with tools drawn from Material for the Spine, ReWire-Dancing States, Flying Low, and a variety of somatic practices, we will dive deeply into the range of nuance in solo body pathways. Each class will consist of three main parts: a solo somatic tuning in relation to an improvisational triadic principle that expands to include a partner; the practicing of technical solo body pathways; an investigation of a transitional pathway into open dancing. Beginners are welcome

CI Training with Andrew Wass at Marameo
starting 2.9.2026 for intermediate/advanced dancers
Wednesdays 14:-15:30
Wallstrasse 32 10179 Berlin
This weekly class is for people who already are familiar with contact improvisation and are ready to go deeper. Through structured scores, focused repetition, and close attention to the body’s mechanics, we will refine the technical skills that support a seasoned CI practice – multiple muscle tonalities, nuanced movement initiation, solo body clarity. These classes will work towards building greater fluency, range, and physical confidence.
Each session combines individual somatic work, partnering pathways, and improvisational scores designed to sharpen listening and responsiveness. Drawing on Material from Paxton’s work, developmental and somatic work, and classic CI practices, we will investigate how gravity, timing, and anatomical awareness can expand what’s possible in the dance.
Participants should expect both feedback and challenge. This is a space to train, question your habits, and discover new pathways through the known and unknown events of contact.
For dancers with existing CI experience who want more: more precision, more range, more understanding.
