COUNTERTECHNIQUE®

Countertechnique® provides tools for body and mind to deal with the demanding dance practice of the 21st century. It is a movement system to help the dancer think about the dancing body, focusing on the process of incorporating information into action.

Within a clear structure of exercises the Countertechnique® class thoroughly prepares the body for rehearsal and performance, enabling dancers to move bigger, more fluidly and more spatially, while becoming stronger and more flexible. Dancers are encouraged to be pro-active in discovering connections and solutions, to be less concerned with judging themselves and to work in a healthy way with regard to body and mind.

Countertechnique® makes daily training a valuable investment in the dancer’s own development, as well as interesting personal research.

Countertechnique® was created and developed by Dutch choreographer, dancer and teacher Anouk van Dijk, former artistic director of Australian dance company Chunky Move.


CLASS DESCRIPTION

The Countertechnique® class is a contemporary dance technique class. It stretches, coordinates and strengthens the body, making the dancer sweat, build stamina and really move. The class starts with a recurring set of exercises, allowing dancers to investigate the Countertechnique® principles in detail. The second half of the class consists of changing components, working towards luscious movement combinations and jumping at the end.

The Countertechnique® class results in dancers using less energy, losing their fear of taking risks and gaining speed in changing direction.

Maya LaLiberté (she/they) is a movement artist compelled by intimacy, risk, presence, and play. Maya graduated with a BA in Dance from Smith College in 2018, where she studied across multiple forms, including Countertechnique, contact improvisation, ballet, and house dance. Maya has had the honor of working with artists such as Jennifer Nugent, Bill T. Jones, Thryn Saxon, Bebe Miller, Dafi Altabeb, and Vanessa Anspaugh. She has presented her own work and collaborations at Smith College, ADF, BDF, and venues throughout NY and MA. As of 2022, Maya is a certified teacher of Countertechnique.

CLASS FEES:

  • Student/Low Income: $10-$25
  • Employed/Financially Stable: $15-$50
