CurieuCity
CurieuCity is a new arts and science festival coming to Brussels this year. It offers scientific, artistic, and educational activities, partly in public spaces and in collaboration with local initiatives. c cultivates curiosity and wonder in everything that surrounds us individually and collectively. It’s a festival that aims to combine the scientific rigor of universities with the experiential impact of art, STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), and socio-cultural action. Each edition of the festival often addresses a question inspired by the reality of the neighborhood where it is located.
CurieuCity will be in Wiels Marsh – Forest September 27 till 29 (Brussels, BE)
Hiatus will be part of the programm with Iris, a new solo by Daniel Linehan, and 2 interactive sessions of Land Connection Practices

Solo for CurieuCity 'Iris'
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 wil be performed on Friday 27 October at 19h00 at P.A.R.T.S. (Brussels, BE) in the frame of the arts & Science Festival CurieuCity

Land Connection Practices
Daniel Linehan and Michael Helland guide outdoor embodied movement practices to help us to connect with our senses and our environment.
They create time for physical play and moments of active urban meditation, to re-connect to our bodies and to our surroundings inside the space of a park. A park is a human-cultivated place, but also a place that responds to a basic human need to connect with the more-than-human, with green grass and blue sky and the wild beings that fly above and burrow below.
We will stand, walk, listen, talk, and move together to inhabit a place in the here and now, with our full bodies and our open attention.
The Land Connection Practices are accessible for everybody: citizens, visitors, commuters, … dancers or non-dancers alike.
28 & 29 Sept 10:00-12:00
Ten Weyngaert – Rue des Alliés 54, 1190 Forest
