- Ensemble Thinking
EN+DE | 2-day workshop with Andrew Wass
Ensemble Thinking (ET) is a system of collaborative group performance practices. These compositional exercises refine the individual’s ability to perceive, initiate, and support collective action. ET’s conceptual nature allows for equality of access regardless of background, aesthetics, or physical capabilities.
This workshop focuses on composing movement and stillness in the moment.

EMERGE Continuing Education // Somatics in Dance, Choreography & Performance
Concept: Heike Kuhlmann & Katja Münker
Lecturers: Andrea Keiz, Heike Kuhlmann, Susanne Martin, Katja Münker & Andrew Wass
Emerge // Somatics in Dance, Choreography & Performance is a 250-hour, modular, in-service specialization in Somatic Pedagogy for use in artistic, creative, performative & educational professions.
The sentient body and the experience/experiencing of oneself in movement and in interaction with the environment are the focus of this dance-choreographic advanced training.
The methods Body-Mind Centering®, Feldenkrais Method and Authentic Movement form the basis for movement trainings and aesthetic research. With improvisation and composition strategies, these experiences are made creatively creative and performative-artistic usable. This enables the development of individual dance abilities in their deep, embodied potential. Connected to the somatic experience, choreographic criteria and tools are taught. The participants are thus accompanied through an artistic development process in which they (further) develop their own present, powerful and subtle penetration of movement as an aesthetic form and conclude with a presentation.
For whom is Emerge recommended?
This continuing education is aimed at educators, therapists, teachers, dancers, dance/theater educators, choreographers and anyone who wants to implement creative action and relaxed, confident performance in their everyday life or profession.
What does Emerge promote?
- Development of somatic-choreographic action through a strengthening of sensory reference in decision-making and in the use of choreographic strategies.
- Unfolding creativity through training in strategies for shaping individual and collaborative creative processes, strategies for overcoming creative blocks.
- Deepening embodiment through body awareness training (being at home in the body), strengthening the body's own resources and sensory reference in movement.
- Performativity by strengthening individual and collective expressiveness, by strengthening sensory references in public performance, in solo and group performances and in application in individual areas of interest.
What does Emerge include?
The Emerge continuing education is modular. It is possible to join at any time. The completion is based on
- participation in 250h compulsory & elective modules,
- participation in 3h somatic & 3h artistic coaching each,
- artistic contributions to the workshop-internal performance shows,
- Documentation of the individual somatic process (max 5 pages) and
- Documentation of the artistic process (max 5 pages) with follow-up discussion

Hailing from Southern California, Andrew Wass is a choreographer, dancer, and researcher. His interests lie at the crossroads of philosophy, cognitive science, and improvised dance. Looking to dissolve the boundaries between academic research and performance, he juxtaposes corporeal and cognitive practices to discover their theoretical commonalities. These commonalities then reveal more potential in his teaching and performance practice. A member of Lower Left and a graduate of the SoDA program at the HZT in Berlin, Wass is pursuing a PhD in Dance at Texas Woman’s University.
