Contemporary with Isabelle Nelson
From the 6th-10th April, join international guest artist Isabelle Nelson for professional contemporary company classes.
“By continuously and sequentially directing parts of the body away from each other in space, Countertechnique allows the moving dancer to work with an ever-changing dynamic balance. This dynamic balance reduces the pressure on the overall body structure and can be changed at any given moment.”
