Artiste Associé . Daniel Linehan

Daniel Linehan is putting out an appeal to invite forty people to take part in a week-long workshop. The only condition is that you are not engaged in your professional activity! Linehan sees this workshop as a reflection on the nature and function of work in our society. For this occasion, for instance, he defines being 'out of work' as something positive: an available person. Linehan is taking as his basis the term 'Vita Activa' as employed in the theories of Hannah Arendt. She makes a distinction between various types of work. And you must already have guessed: Daniel Linehan's intention is to blur the boundaries between these different sorts of work. Ironing, writing, babysitting, making speeches, gardening, carrying out research, giving a massage, or dancing: in Linehan's world none of these is very far from the others. After a week, the choreographer will distil a piece of choreography from the activities of the workshop, to be shown in our Theatre Studio.
