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 or have alternative pathways into performing. 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.

A limited number of scholarships will be available for the OBOC. 

If scholarships are provided, by default they will only cover either 5%, 10%, 25% or 50% of the participation fee; only in exceptional cases will a scholarship cover more than 50% of the participation fee.

Scholarships apply only to the participation fee; all participants are responsible for covering their own travel, housing and any other expenses.

Scholarships are awarded at the organisation's discretion; the primary criterium is financial need, but other criteria can include the overall diversity, quality and experience within the participant group, as well as any other factors that the organisation might consider relevant. 

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 USA (20 June - 1 July), in case you're not selected for the OBOC Europe.

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

As an optional question, we also offer you the opportunity to let us know below if you're considering an application for the Countertechnique Teacher Training (CTTT) at some point in the future.

As part of your registration, we require you to confirm that you have filled out the information above truthfully and to agree to our Terms & Conditions (click here), which includes (amongst others) the information shared on our FAQ page (click here).
