Countertechnique®, developed by Anouk van Dijk, offers tools for the body and mind to cope with the demands of contemporary dance practice. This movement system helps dancers reflect on the dancing body and consciously translate information into action. Within a clear structure of exercises, Countertechnique® prepares the body for rehearsals and performances and invites dancers to move with greater expansiveness, fluidity, and spatial awareness while developing strength and flexibility. Dancers are encouraged to explore connections and discover their own solutions with curiosity, to be less judgmental of themselves, and to work with their bodies and minds in a healthy way. Following the approximately 90-minute class, we apply the principles and tools to improvisation exercises and explore their potential for creative processes. Volume, the anatomy of the ribs and lungs, and the sensation of different states of tension also open up a playful approach to the voice. In this way, we deepen communication, embodied musicality, and rhythm, and expand our creative imagination.
