ARTISTIC POLICY
Charles Linehan Company values craft, technical excellence and originality and holds to the belief that dance has a unique ability to touch and move audiences. The performers are vital contributors to the creation and performance of the work and their individual human qualities and technical excellence are brought equally into play. Linehan is concerned with achieving a sense of balance across the elements of movement, light and music and is committed to engaging in dynamic collaborations with composers and lighting designers.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'There is a seductiveness in Linehan's confident choreographic voice that satisfies the rational senses and beguiles the irrational.' The Irish Times

'Impressive, intelligent, thought-provoking choreography… Charles Linehan’s subtle atmospheric dances thrive on implication, on the elusive emotional undercurrents of human interaction.' Time Out

'Conjures a theatre experience that is original, visually stimulating and intellectually satisfying… Linehan is the real thing.' Ballett International/Tanz Aktuell

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Happy Days Trio for dancers Greig Cooke, Andreja Rauch and Rahel Vonmoos, inspired by the music of composer Jim O’Rourke (Sonic Youth). The viewer is drawn under the spell of the music as acoustic guitar and an electronic soundscape gradually increase in intensity, creating an hypnotic effect, mirrored in Linehan's atmospheric choreography. (25 mins, 3 on stage, 5 on the road)

New Quartet Quartet for dancers Ben Ash, Greig Cooke, Andreja Rauch and Rahel Vonmoos with lighting design by Mikki Kunttu. Initially submerged in a wall of sound New Quartet is a perfectly balanced distillation of movement, recordings of disintegrating piano loops and pure white light. (30 mins, 4 on stage, 6 on the road)

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
New work (title tbc) A duet, premiering in October 2007, featuring a collaboration with Belgrade Yard Sound System.
