>> R.I.D.E. – Research Into Dynamic Events <<>> CI Workshop with Andrew Wass & Caterina Mocciola <<
>> When <<
December 6th–7th, 2025
>> Where <<
AIEP – Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan
>> What <<
Andrew and Caterina’s work draws from a shared language of Contact Improvisation, Composition, Viewpoints, and Contemporary Dance. Since 2017, they have been collaborating as a duo: co-creating choreographic and performative material, teaching across Europe, and cultivating a shared artistic practice.
We invite you to explore and research our shared practice material.
In this workshop, we will practice a range of dynamic events and un/known pathways—some small and fine, others more robust and effortful. These partner pathways will serve as departure points for improvising in contact.
We will investigate the ride-ness and lift-ness of each dynamic event, and the improvisational potential within both.
>> Guiding Questions <<
- How can we use what we know, to create something we don’t know?
- Can confusion provide fertile ground for understanding and extending improvisation?
- How can we balance momentary ambitions with expansive curiosity?
>> Structure <<
We will start with scored solo improvisations, then move into technical solo skills. After practicing known pathways, we will layer in these solo skills—improvising our way into, out of, and during the dynamic events.
>> Schedule <<
10:00–13:00
14:30–17:30
