Countertechnique provides tools for body and mind to deal with the demanding dance practice of the 21st century. It is a movement system to help the dancer think about the dancing body, focusing on the process of incorporating information into action. Within a clear structure of exercises, the Countertechnique class thoroughly prepares the body for rehearsal and performance, enabling dancers to move bigger, more fluidly and more spatially, while becoming stronger and more flexible.
"Working as a dancer one is exposed to different approaches in this diverse artistic field, demanding openness, flexibility and self responsibility. As a broad concept Countertechnique offers tools for different aspects of dancing as well as creating, regardless of any style or aesthetics.I love to be challenged, and Countertechnique constantly challenges me as a dancer to come into play with forces inside and around myself (like gravity or other people, or the space...) and allows for that imminent energy to express itself in dancing.
In choosing to apply those tools offered, dancing never becomes empty but demands and invites your full self, the intellectual, the physical and intuitive to engage in the dancing - So dancing can become a creative process itself."
