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 conclude 2024 with a special Open Monday. Fatou Traoré and Benjamin Vandewalle share some of their favorite exercises with everyone willing to unwind on the dance floor.

‘Creating openings of body, voice, heart and mind in order to allow the immersion to a creative state’

In each Open Monday we create space to explore, discover and connect. We invite you to this unique experience and to end the year dancing together. The dance session is free and for everyone, our neighbors and friends, dancers and non-dancers, regardless of your background, language or abilities.

Monday 23 December – 18:30-20:30

In partnership with BOS+, Hiatus is contributing to the reforestation of our planet. We donate part of the proceeds from our performances to the organization, helping to acquire and plant trees. We also work together to enhance the connection between humans and nature with activities such as Forest Walks and Land Connection Practices.

Thanks to the tour of our latest production Kiss The One We Are and the performances of the solos Body Of Work and Not About Everything, we were able to donate 1,600 euros to BOS+. This amount will go to the restoration of the Vrouweperckbos in Holsbeek in the Hageland where 5 hectares of new woodland will be planted.

On Sunday, December 15, BOS+ is organizing a planting event to give several hundreds of trees a home in the woods in Holsbeek. The Hiatus team is also putting on its boots and rolling up its sleeves to help plant trees.

BOS+ Planting action – December 15, 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. – Wingepark, 3220 Holsbeek.
