Maayan Reiter is a dancer, video creator, motion designer, choreographer, and Contact Improvisation teacher, currently based in Cologne, Germany.

In her work, Maayan uses physical communication as a tool for studying social and interpersonal relations, and to test the boundaries of habitual behavior. She aspires to examine the possibilities of integrating multimedia in order to bring out voices and ideas that usually remain buried under the morass of social norms and linguistic constraints.

She trained in contemporary dance at SEAD – Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance, and is currently studying Integrated Design at KISD – Köln International School of Design. There, she’s been exploring new ways to combine dance with technology, applying her extensive knowledge of filmmaking.

While creating her own work, Maayan also collaborated with various artists, including: Simone Forti (USA), Willi Dorner (AUT), Ceren Oran (TR/GER), Charlotte Triebus (GER), Nir De Volff (ISR/DE), Andrea K. Schlehwein + Netzwerk AKS (AUT), Nayana Keshava Bhat (IND) + INFLUX (AUT), Zina Vaessen (GER), Hubert Lepka + Lawine Torrèn (AUT), Lital Ben-Horin (ISR) and more.

Maayan aspires to create a space in which performer and audience can find a deep connection, that hopefully overcomes their presumptions and offers some solace in an increasingly alienated world.
