On the occasion of the show We Want it All, from 10 to 12 November 2021, Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten of the company ICK Dans Amsterdam offer a master class for professionals and an open class for dance and performance students focused on the Double Skin/Double Mind method, and they hold a meeting open to the public.

The DS/DM method was developed by choreographer Emio Greco and director Pieter C. Scholten. It has been taught all over the world for many years and plays an essential role during the creation of the shows of the company ICK Dans Amsterdam. It is based on four main principles: Breathing, Jumping, Expanding and Reducing. Through the DS/DM method a new physical and mental awareness will be achieved in which intention and form coincide.

Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten are the directors of ICKamsterdam and regularly create their own choreographic works for the corps de ballet which consists of an ensemble of male and female dancers and a junior company, the ICK-Next. They have been working together for more than twenty-five years in the research of a new dance language and a new approach to the body in which, both the "rebellious body" and the triad "performance, body and miracle" are the guiding principles.

In 2021, they received the Golden Swan, presented by Minister van Engelshoven, in recognition of their great contribution to Dutch dance.
