Countertechnique (cancelled)

Live Workshop with Verena Pircher
In the frame of Winter Tanz 2021/22

This workshop offers an insight into the Countertechnique, a contemporary dance technique developed by Anouk van Dijk. It stretches, coordinates and strengthens the body, building stamina. With a recurring set of exercises, the principles of Countertechnique can be explored in detail in order to then be able to move into versatile movement combinations and jumps. The aim of Countertechnique is to use less energy, lose the fear of risk and gain speed when changing direction. In the second part of the workshop, the focus is on Verena's work with targeted mindfulness tasks that support being able to connect more deeply with yourself and the people around you, and to find your way into a playful exploration of interpersonal relationships in dance.

Please note: This workshop will only take place live in the studio, according to the current status under the regulation 2G+ (vaccinated or recovered plus tested) and with limited participants. Information about regulations and measures will be continuously updated on our website and communicated by mail shortly before the workshop starts.
