ARTISTIC POLICY
Charles Linehan’s choreographic vision is one of understated intensity, achieved through the marriage of movement, light and music and informed by an economy of means. His work speaks of the quality and nature of human interaction; detailed and intimate it can be described as miniaturist. He values craft and originality and his performers are vital contributors to the creation and performance of the work with their individual human qualities and technical excellence brought equally into play.

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Inspired by the music of composer Jim O’Rourke (Sonic Youth), this trio is a bittersweet replaying of past events with belated insight; a work of choreographic rigour and enigmatic simplicity with a powerful emotional undertow. (25 mins, 5 on the road.)

A duet for Rahel Vonmoos and Greig Cooke accompanied by live music from music collective Belgradeyard SoundSystem using double bass and samples. Processes of reduction and expansion, the distilled and the magnified, lie at the heart of this work and are played out in the relationship between performers, lighting and music. (25 mins, 4 on the road.)

WRAP-AROUND
Linehan and members of his company can deliver workshops, masterclasses and residencies, providing an insight into the company’s creative process. These are suitable for students and professional practitioners. Residencies can lead to the development of choreographic material by the participants.
