Countertechnique with Charles Slender-White

This March VAULT is thrilled to present Countertechnique with Charles Slender-White. Charles has been practicing Countertechnique for 11 years and is one of 28 certified teachers worldwide. He is an American choreographer and Artistic Director of FACT/SF, a contemporary dance company based in San Francisco.

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.
