What is weissmann technique?
The weissmann technique is a method of teaching and training developed by Jennifer Mann and Heidi Weiss. It is based upon an intelligent class structure, specific movement principles, and a holistic approach. When these elements are combined, they create the ideal conditions for experiencing and performing a clear, defined flow. Its roots lie in modern dance, but its expression breaks past molds, becoming a fusion that is highly
physical, musical, and dynamic. Heidi and Jennifer both hold a BFA from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where they studied American modern dance techniques such as Horton, Humphrey/Limon, Graham, Taylor, and Wigman. Their modern dance education, combined with jazz, improvisation, and a deep immersion in the practice and studies of yoga and meditation, are all components that have led to the development of this unique training method. Many years of collaborative, choreographic work and research have also greatly contributed to their movement vocabulary and the formation of the weissmann technique. Jennifer and Heidi are experienced teachers who have been dedicated to contemporary dance for over 27 years. Offering their explosive energy and passion for moving, they are both well known in the Berlin scene and internationally for their inspirational and motivational style of teaching: skillful whilst creating a positive atmosphere, helping dancers to transcend their comfort zones. We would be happy to hear from you and answer any questions you may have. post@weissmann-technique.com
Warmly,
Jennifer Mann and Heidi Weiss
