The Ground Game
The Ground Game: a technical somatic approach to CI
The aim of this workshop is to provide tools/pathways/concepts to increase specificity and potential in low verticality CI. Beginning with Steve Paxton’s Material for the Spine and developmental movement, we will look at technical pathways for the solo body. Expanding our attention outwards to partnering pathways, we will investigate how the solo body patterns enrich the duet work. Shifting gears, we will approach the solo and the duet from a somatic perspective, sourcing material from Body Mind Centering® to expand our solo awareness and challenge our habits. Using the BMC tools we will look in detail at the anatomy of the foot and then use it as our primary focus in both solo and partner dancing. Some of the basic developmental patterns might also appear in order to add another layer of understanding to our use of lower limbs.
This workshop is intended for people who have some familiarity with CI and are looking to increase technical solo awareness and low-level dynamic weight sharing possibilities.

Berlin

marameo was founded in 1992 and, since that time, has established itself as an institution of vital importance to the Berlin dance scene. The original concept – to offer affordable, daily training for professional dancers – has remained constant over the years. Situated in the centre of Berlin, the studio sees itself as a place of exchange for more then 100 people, who daily attend classes and who demand the highest quality from our courses.
Mornings at Marameo belong to professional dancers who can rely on continuity, as well as innovative approaches, in both the classical and modern classes which are taught by experienced teachers and international guests. ‘ShowTime’, which has become a very sought-after platform, provides professional dancers training at Marameo with the opportunity to present their work.
Courses on our diverse evening programme are chiefly influenced by each teacher’s unique artistic perspective. There are just as inspiring courses for beginners as there are for advanced dance fanatics. Performance projects, which bring exciting dance pieces to the stage, take place on a regular basis.
Marameo Berlin e.V is a registered non-profit organisation which aims to promote contemporary dance forms to people of all ages. Children, teenagers, adults, amateurs and professional dancers can all connect with and experience the fascination of physical movement.
