BEING TOGETHER WITHOUT ANY VOICE / 2010
Choreography Daniel Linehan
Daniel Linehan and his dancers explore a variety of social relationships in total silence. Being together without any voice. What happens when we consider the other as an object or like ourselves? What happens when we consider ourselves as an object or like another, a stranger?
“In this choreographic work, four dancers move between different types of mute social configurations. The way they interact (or avoid all interaction) is familiar yet paradoxical. Their movement is composed of sustained repetition yet, notwithstanding, they abandon it readily for something new. They act in an assured, free-willed way and yet the scenes seem to take place haphazardly. They appear simultaneously as a cohesive group yet are like a conglomerate of disparate individuals. Who are these beings on the stage? Social creatures, familiar creatures? Both?

Linehan, Daniel
Born in 1982 in Seattle, Daniel Linehan developed his choreographic art for four years in New York, notably with Miguel Gutierrez and the Big Art Group, Mark Haim and Wil Swanson. He partnered with Michael Helland for a myriad of duos presented in New York, Philadelphia and Montreal. In 2007-2008, he was resident artist at Movement Research (New York). Directly admitted to the P.A.R.T.S. Research programme, he has since established himself in Brussels. In his work, Daniel Linehan leans on language resources to enrich his questioning on movement. The sense emerges from a stream of disparate information – narrative, emotional, textual, visual and physical – brought together on stage.
Daniel Linehan created the solo “Digested Nois” in 2004 (Dance Theater Workshop, New-York), the quintet “The Sun came” (Triskelion Arts, Brooklyn) and “Human Content Pile”, for four dancers (The Kitchen, New-York), in 2006.
With his solo “Not About Everything” created in 2007 (Dance Theater Workshop, New York) he was acknowledged by the French audience. In 2009, his duo “Montage for Three” was presented during the “Rencontres chorégraphiques internationales” (International Choreographic Encounters) of Seine-Saint-Denis. “Zombie Aporia” is his latest creation.

The American origins of modern dance: [1930-1950] from the expressive to the abstract
[1970-2018] Neoclassical developments: They spread worldwide, as well as having multiple repertoires and dialogues with contemporary dance.
In the 1970s, artists’ drive towards a new classic had been ongoing for more than a half century and several generations had already formed since the Russian Ballets. As the years went by, everyone defended or defends classical dance as innovative, unique, connected to the other arts and the preoccupations of its time.

Outdoor dances
Stage theater and studio are not the only places of work or performance of a choreographic piece. Sometimes dancers and choreographers dance outside.
