‘Land Connection Practices felt like a floating moment for me. A Land Connection that paradoxically took me elsewhere. It was good, positively unsettling to be there and elsewhere at the same time.’
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

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
This year, Bruzz’s “Brussel Helpt” supports “Accolage,” a Brussels organisation that sets up neighbour support networks in the fight against loneliness among elderly people.
On Saturday, November 23, between 12 and 2 pm, we warmly invite you to the heart of Molenbeek where we will once again serve our vegetarian spaghetti for this good cause. Freshly prepared and 100% organic. We also like to give you a look behind the scenes of the Ultima Vez building where we are housed together with some other dance organizations.
From 11 a.m. to noon, you can join Daniel Linehan for a free session of Qigong. These mind and body movement exercises are for all ages and boost our health and energy. Even those not staying for the spaghetti battle are welcome to participate.
We look forward to welcoming you.
You can register for the spaghetti event between 12:00 and 14:00 via this link
