SUMMARY:POP IN / POP OUT: Countertechnique® with Sophie
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers an introduction to using Countertechnique® in the changing circumstances of daily dance practice. It will include a 2-hour Countertechnique® class followed by a 1-hour session of reflection and application of information into action. As a freelance artist herself\, Sophie will also share how Countertechnique® specifically supports her dance practice and career. This workshop is designed to benefit both movers who are new to Countertechnique® as well as those already familiar with the technique. Notebooks and long pants are suggested. \nCountertechnique® was created and developed by Dutch choreographer\, dancer and teacher Anouk van Dijk\, former artistic director of Australian dance company Chunky Move. Countertechnique® provides tools for body and mind to deal with the demanding dance practice of the 21st century and makes daily training a valuable investment in the dancer’s own development\, as well as interesting personal research. \nFor more information: www.countertechnique.com. \n\nSophie Minouche Allen (she/her) \nSophie Minouche Allen is a Chicago-based dance artist who performs\, choreographs\, teaches\, and collaborates throughout the city and beyond.
