COVID-19

It is clear that COVID-19 continues to affect every aspect of our lives and is likely to continue to do so at least throughout 2022. This form therefore asks some questions about matters relating to COVID-19, travel and health & safety precautions. 

We look forward to receiving your application!

We are commited to make the OBOC an event where every individual feels welcomed, acknowledged and appreciated. If you would like to share more information with us about your personal identity, please feel free to do so here. All questions in this section are optional.

We try to create a program in OBOC that caters to the various levels of professional experience that participants have, from those who are still in an university dance program to those who have many years of professional experience. The below questions help us tailor the most fitting program for all participants.

We try to create a program in OBOC that caters to the different levels of experience that participants have with Countertechnique, from those who are completely new to the technique to those who have taken many classes and workshops. The below questions help us tailor the most fitting program for all participants.

Travel to the Netherlands is likely to remain impacted by restrictions, both for EU residents as well as those from outside the EU. Proof of vaccination is likely to remain a condition for entering the Netherlands.

At OBOC, the Corona Access Proof policy (Coronatoegangsbewijs) will be in place.  Currently, this means that any participant will have to be fully vaccinated, recently recovered, or provide a registered test result every 24 hrs. This policy may be updated over the next few months, for example to include the booster shot. 

Please provide details to your vaccination status below.

A limited number of scholarships will be available for the OBOC, which will be awarded on the basis of financial need. If scholarships are provided to you, scholarships by default will cover only 25-50% of the participation fee; only in exceptional cases will a scholarship cover 100% of the fee. Scholarships apply only to the participation fee; all participants are responsible for covering their own travel, housing and any other expenses. 

Historically, every edition of the OBOC has been oversubscribed. We would like to give you the opportunity to express your interest and availability for the OBOC NYC (13-24 June), in case you're not selected for the OBOC Amsterdam.

Applicants who complete an official application for both NYC and Amsterdam will have priority in the first round offers over those who only express their interest here, but we encourage you to let us know here if a transfer to Amsterdam is something you'd want to consider at a later point.
