Countertechnique is a movement system to help the dancer think about the dancing body, focusing on the process of incorporating information into action. Dancers are invited to be proactive in discovering connections and solutions, to be less concerned with judging themselves and to just enjoy the ride of dancing through space.
We will start the class by having a closer look into information about a body part or a function of the human body. Everybody will get some time to relate this information to their own bodies through different tasks and movement explorations. This is followed by a recurring set of exercises to give the dancers the chance to continue the exploration in set movements step by step introducing the elements of a movement combination.
At the end we will ride this combo that travels through all layers of space upright, turning, spiraled, rising, low or upside down.
Riding the forces of the universe like they are the waves in the ocean
