Drawing on his experiences in New York with Miguel Gutierrez and in Brussels, where he joined Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s research programme P.A.R.T.S., American dancer and choreographer Daniel Linehan established his highly sensitive language in his first solo, Not About Everything (2007). The essence of his work was already present: a dizzying physical and textual whirl in which movement, light and music became one, merging into an introspective exploration.
Today, the folk-rock-inspired, naturalistic vein of the compositions and vocals of American artist Adrianne Lenker inspires a new, pared-down performance—brief, luminous, and stripped of the excesses of spectacle, of anything that might “stop the body singing.” Freely, through a fluid and immersive vocabulary of movement—spins, wave-like motions, surges—Linehan explores a different way of connecting to the world and of resisting its violence. With spontaneity, sincerity and unashamed vulnerability, the piece unfolds as a moment of truth and quiet solace.
