Orizzonte Celeste 9 – Intermediate Vertical Dance Course
with Marianna Andrigo | Vertical Waves Project
📍 at C32, Forte Marghera – via Forte Marghera, Mestre (VE)
📅 Starting Monday, October 6, 2025
We train the body in the ecstasy of inversion to grasp its revelations of stability; we train our personalities to exist and express themselves through the direct forms of gesture; we observe joint and muscular intelligence as it leads us through the layers of real imagination.
It will take place on the ground, in suspension, with feet against the wall: it will be shifting, gradual, attentive.
It will be solitary and collective, silent and full of voices.
It will be a persuasive longing for the warmth of the belly and the coolness of the forehead.
The practice unfolds just a few meters above the ground.
Program Structure | 2025–2026
The course is divided into three modules:
MODULE 1 – In-person (Oct–Dec):
The first session will take place at Forte Marghera, Mestre, from October to December.

About Marianna Andrigo | Vertical Waves Project
Marianna encountered vertical dance in 2002. Her artistic journey is driven by a constant interest in the performative body, both on the ground and in the air. Her background in political studies, philosophical inquiry, and Eastern practices informs her approach to creation, performance, curation, teaching, and the design of projects that merge body, thought, and community.
Vertical Waves was founded in 2010 and is dedicated to creating performances for architecture and voids.
Vertical Waves Project is a dance company focused on the production of vertical dance performances. Its work is characterized by the use of architecture as a stage space: through technical rigging systems, dance inhabits height and emptiness, treating space as a co-author of the choreographic narrative. The performances are site-specific and take place on walls, in voids, on self-supporting structures, or even trees.
Alongside artistic production, the company promotes the practice of vertical dance through courses and intensive workshops. In addition to training professionals, it engages in socially impactful actions where vertical dance becomes a tool for sociality, participation, urban regeneration, and youth engagement.
