This three-day workshop introduces Countertechnique, the movement system developed by Anouk van Dijk over the past 30 years. Designed to equip dancers with practical tools for a versatile, creative and sustainable dance practice, Countertechnique emphasises the process of translating information into action.
Each day starts with a Countertechnique class followed by a Practical Tools session, and after lunch we bring Countertechnique tools into improvisation and creation, with a particular focus on adapting to changing performance situations.
As performers, we constantly navigate different working environments, rehearsal processes and performance situations. Countertechnique offers specific tools and tasks to help dancers respond, adapt and remain versatile. Through a practical understanding of the relationships between gravity, energy, space and the body, dancers develop a more proactive and independent approach to their practice.
Working with codified exercises and task-based improvisation, we will explore how to make informed choices, expand possibilities and find greater freedom and enjoyment in dancing, both during training and creation.
Winter Warming welcomes professional dance artists and advanced dance students who enjoy working physically and wish to sustain and develop their practice over time. Both dancers new to Countertechnique and those looking to deepen their understanding are welcome.
Anouk van Dijk is a Dutch choreographer, artistic director and creator of the movement system Countertechnique. From 2012 to 2019, she was Artistic Director of the renowned contemporary dance company Chunky Move in Melbourne, Australia.
