Tim Volleman

Born in the Netherlands, Tim is now based in Cardiff (Wales, UK). He came in contact with Countertechnique for the first time during his studies in Codarts/Rotterdam Dance Academy. In 2020 he successfully attended the Countertechnique Teacher Training program.

Since graduation Tim has performed with various companies including National Dance Company Wales, Nederlands Dans Theater II, Cathy Sharp Dance Ensemble, Internationaal Dans Theater, de Stilte and worked with choreographers Heidi Vierthaler, Juanjo Arques and Caroline Finn, amongst others.

“From a very young age I have been intrigued by the “expiration date” of my body as a dancer. Terrified by the idea of accepting that there will be one day when I will have used my body up and won’t be able to move anymore. Countertechnique has been my answer to that.

Countertechnique allows dancers to move all the crazy ways they are asked to and wish to. At the same time respecting their body as an irreplaceable, precious instrument. It makes me happy to share this knowledge, empowering other dancers to (re-)discover their unique body and find enjoyable ways to partner with it.”
