This Countertechnique workshop with Jussi Nousiainen focuses on the structure and freedom. By interlinking internal and external space, dynamic balance and non judging mind we can experience freedom within structure and allow structures which liberate our movement. The workshop 'moves' through technique as a structure of body to improvisation as a structure of creativity and discovery. But mostly it is about dancing while smiling and enjoying the process.

About 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. 

Jussi Nousiainen studied Countertechnique with founder Anouk van Dijk, danced in her works between 2011 and 2013, and completed the Countertechnique Teacher Training program in 2012.“For me, dance is a union between the physical, intellectual and spiritual, allowing a deep connection to oneself in the present. Countertechnique is pragmatic and liberating method to explore and extend the possibilities of my own bodily existence, without needing to submit to imagery or esthetic ideals of any particular dance style. It allows me to work healthier and perform with less effort. It also provides plenty of food for thought and inspiration, regardless of ones personal artistic aspirations. I frequently catch myself applying Countertechnique principles, 'doing it' to feel more comfortable and at ease, in and out of dance studio.”
