Not About Everything I made as a young artist in a world with an abundance of information, in search of an answer to the oft-repeated question ‘What is your work about?’. Any attempt to define this felt like a limitation. What do I want to talk about?

My answer is a dance. A dance that starts with words. The cadence of sentences triggers a loop of circular movements. And a dance that asks questions as well. What is the value of a piece and what impact does it have on me, the audience and the world outside the theater? The answers work their way through my body and find expression in movement and sound. In all my creations, sound plays a crucial role. The vocal cords are as important as any other muscle and dance continues into words that in turn evoke new movements.

In the solo, I come to an essence by clearing out layers of text and movement, tangible but unspoken.

Daniel Linehan created Not About Everything in 2007 in New York shortly before moving to Brussels. It meant his international breakthrough and he has continued to perform his solo to this day.

The next performance of Not About Everything is at Bozar (Brussels) on January 20 in a Double Bill with Submission Submission by Bryana Fritz.

We start the year with opening our studio every last monday of the month for everyone who is curious and enjoys moving. Open Monday is an inclusive dance session for everyone, our neighbours and friends, dancers and non-dancers alike, regardless of your background, experience, language or abilities.

‘I loved that I could bring a friend to dance with me, someone from outside the dance world, and they could feel fully welcome and experience this joy with me!’

We believe that everyone should have access, also regardless of financial capabilities. If you’re able to contribute 5 or 10 euro we are very grateful for your support, but it’s completely up to you. You can also participate for free. Your presence is what matters most!

Your support helps us continue to offer an Open Monday to everyone. Every contribution helps us to maintain our fair pay policy for the wonderful dancers leading the sessions and to cover the cost of the studio.

The upcoming dance sessions in Brussels, from 18h30 till 20h30:

Monday 27 January @ Big Studio

Monday 24 February @ Danscentrum Jette

Hiatus invites you to discover and experience this unique biotope in Brussels. Thanks to the efforts of local residents and the Donderberg Sauvage collective, this piece of nature is being preserved. We are happy to contribute during the cold winter days with a session of Land Connection Practices.

Daniel Linehan and Michael Helland share embodied movement practices among the ancient trees, helping us connect with our senses and our environment. Donderberg becomes our outdoor studio where we stand, walk, listen, talk, feel and move to take a place in the here and now together and bond with wild nature and its inhabitants.

The Land Connection Practices are accessible for everybody, professional dancers, amateurs, artists or non-artists alike.

Saturday 11 January – 14:00-15:30 – Donderberg Laeken-Brussels
