Countertechnique in the USA this summer

Anouk van Dijk technique programCountertechnique Founder Anouk van Dijk will visit the U.S. to teach two workshops, one at Gibney Dance in New York City on June 13-16 and one at BODYTRAFFIC’s Summer Program in Los Angeles on June 19-22. This is a unique opportunity to work with the creator of Countertechnique and the artistic director of Australian contemporary dance company Chunky Move.

 

The daily schedule for each of these workshops will start with a Countertechnique class, followed by a Countertechnique Practical Tools session. Each day will conclude with a two-hour workshop combining Chunky Move repertoire and the creation of new movement material.

 

From June 15 to July 29, Kira Blazek Ziaii and Joy Davis will teach Countertechnique at the American Dance Festival’s Six Week School. Having encountered Anouk van Dijk and Countertechnique at ADF in 2005, everything will come full circle with the two of them returning to the festival to teach Countertechnique themselves.

 

Joy Davis will also teach a workshop from June 19-23 at the Springdance Intensive in Miami, where she’ll focus on Countertechnique classes and improvisational practice to create an environment for movement discovery.

 

Kelsey Paschich will teach Countertechnique classes from May 31 to June 3 in Austin as part of the ARCOS Dance Summer Workshop | Professional Training, which offers a range of different classes and workshops.

 

Rosanna Tavarez will teach Countertechnique classes from July 17-21 in Los Angeles, as part of the Los Angeles Contemporary Dance Company Intensive, and from July 23-27 in Sarasota, as part of the Sarasota Contemporary Dance Summer Intensive.

 

Charles Slender-White and Joy Davis close the Countertechnique summer activities from July 31 – August 5 at the Summer Dance Lab in San Francisco by FACT/SF. This event also offers several other techniques and repertoire workshops from the company.
