Founder of Countertechnique Anouk van Dijk returns to New York this June! Limited spots available.

After the popular, annual New York Winter Warming, we now introduce a mid-year check in for everyone interested to know more about the applications of Countertechnique:

A four-day mini-intensive, Summer Solstice is a mid-year reboot to unfold the body and open to new perspectives.

Each day begins with a 2-hour Countertechnique class, followed by a Practical Tools session introducing a new focus. After lunch, we bring these insights into creation and performance, with a special focus on two Countertechnique Toolbox categories: Space and Awareness.
Discover how space can become both a supportive and creative partner in your dancing, and how specific tasks can activate intention to fuel both daily training and the creative process.

Building on Anouk’s choreographic practice, we explore combining tasks and emotional states, the imagined and what is in front of us, and weaving improvisation into set composition. How can a simple idea unfold into a rich, layered source for movement and reflect meaning back to us?

Countertechnique Summer Solstice welcomes dance artists and advanced dance students seeking inspiration to contribute to the creative process, keep dancing engaging, and foster a healthy, joyful work ethic. Be prepared to work proactively, think creatively, and engage at a high physical level.
