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 Mouvements sur la Ville – Montpellier (France) on December 3.

In his solo “Iris”, Linehan considers how movement and words can be a form of magic, a way to cast new spells. His dance and his poetry aim to give voice to the invisible connections that join us together with our fellow living beings near and far – the plants and the birds, the insects and mushrooms, the sky and the living Earth. In ancient Greek mythology, Iris was the goddess of the rainbow and a messenger of hope. Linehan sees hope in the process of learning to see our inherent relatedness with the colorful spectrum of planetary life that we are a part of.

Iris is performed on Friday 27 October at 19h00 at P.A.R.T.S. (Brussels, BE) in the frame of the arts & Science Festival CurieuCity

On Saturday, November 23, between 12 and 14h, we warmly invite you to the heart of Molenbeek where we will once again serve our vegetarian spaghetti for this good cause.
