"Francesco Scavetta propose a personal approach to contemporary dance, based on releasetechnique and contact-improvisation, influenced by his experience as a dancer and choreographer and by his practice of tai chi chuan, that links a deep transformation of the body to a delicate poetic of the movement."

Danza&danza

Vilnius, May 16-20, 2011

Countertechnique is a movement system Anouk van Dijk developed during her 20-year career as a dancer, choreographer and teacher. Instead of creating a static balance, one uses three-dimensional directions and counter directions to create a highly dynamic balance, to permit a wider range of movements and to engage effectively in multidirectional situations. The method focuses on both mental and physical aspects of dancing and strives to increase an overall awareness on the different levels that operate while dancing.

Trisha Brown, the most widely acclaimed choreographer to emerge from the postmodern era, first came to public notice when she began showing her work with the Judson Dance Theater in the 1960s. Along with like-minded artists including Yvonne Rainer, Steve Paxton, and Simone Forte, she pushed the limits of what could be considered appropriate movement for choreography thereby changing modern dance forever. This "hot-bed of dance revolution," was imbued with a maverick spirit and blessed with total disrespect for assumption, qualities that Ms. Brown still exhibits even as she brings her work to the great opera houses of the world today.

The main theme of Vigil is a state of inner watch. Through abstract dance language and associative images this performance shows a constant cycle of faith, disappointment, retraction and returning to your chosen values. It portrays human spiritual transformation and attempts to grope signs of changing reality.
