Every last Monday of the month Hiatus invites you to the dance studio to explore body movement and create meaningful connections. Two professional dancers share unique practices in a two hour workshop and offer ideas to evoque motion. The dance session is for everyone, whether you’re a dancer or simply curious to explore movement. Age, background, and language don’t matter, come as you are and be part of this encounter!

This month we are exited to be guests at Danscentrum Jette, where Anneleen Keppens and Daniel Linehan will guide the Open Monday workshop.

The dance floor is our playground.

Open Monday is from 18:30 till 20:30

Monday 24 February @ Danscentrum Jette

PLACE is a European project in which Hiatus partners up with Bethlen Theatre (Hungary) and Norwegian Landscape Theatre. We seek to develop 3 local projects for green spaces in 3 different locations in Europe and develop tools and networks for artists to work hands-on with nature in a sustainable way.

We are looking for people with creative ideas, a hands on attitude and experience in ecological and social projects.

On a cold winter day Daniel Linehan and Michael Helland shared embodied movement practices among the ancient trees of Donderberg, a hidden park in the heart of Laeken with a unique biotope. Thanks to the efforts of local residents and the Donderberg Sauvage collective, this piece of nature is being preserved. We were delighted to be their guests with our Land Connection Practices and create a warm collective space.

Last month Daniel Linehan was invited by Bozar to perform his solo ‘Not About Everything‘ in a double bill with ‘Submission Submission’ by Bryana Fritz.

In the words of Bozar:

‘With the iconic solos of two American performance artists, Bryana Fritz and Daniel Linehan, presented as a double bill, this evening is a conversation of bodies and a polyphony of voices. Created in 2007, ‘Not About Everything’ is undoubtedly Daniel Linehan’s piece that is most etched on people’s minds, as it truly reflects the necessity of being, in the purest sense of the term. The constant centrifugal movement of the body, combined with words, is a form of breathing that casts off the weight of what is projected onto us. For her part, Bryana Fritz’s ‘Submission Submission’ is a gallery of portraits that play on her polymorphous skills. The martyred saints she brings to life within her emerge as precipitous, visceral, grotesque gestures that question our own representation of things.’
