‘For me dancing is about celebrating moments in my life. It’s about moving, it’s about my body. With dance I express joy, sadness and peacefulness.’
DE SINGEL invites Hiatus and Dance On Ensemble in Antwerp with Kiss The One We Are on May 3 and 4.
In Kiss The One We Are, Daniel Linehan continues his research into the relationship between dance, the body and the connection to everything else. Movement is the first form we use to express ourselves, before the use of language. In every culture, people dance to celebrate. We share emotions through dance and it connects us. Some dedicate their whole life to it and tell stories with movement. There is dance in each one of us and in nature all around us. From objects in the universe circling in endless orbits to atomic particles generating energy in similar patterns. Everything is in motion.
Dance is unity of expression and function; physicality filled with light, giving soul to form. Without ecstasy no dance!
Mary Wigman
In this intensive workshop guided by Daniel Linehan and Michael Helland, we explore the power of dance and embodied practice to help open our minds to heightened states of awareness, as we take a deep dive into the marvelous wonders that we are.

An unforgettable experience that will change your view of time and work awaits you.
In this workshop, you will spend one week working together in a group of twenty participants around concepts of work and time. The dance studio becomes a free space to explore your own skills and those of others and experience their value in a new way. The goal is to grow into a temporary community with an alternative economy by exchanging time and skills.
Vita Activa will be a guest at STUK in Leuven from April 22-26. Everyone who is curious and wants to engage and have fun for 5 days is welcome.
The workshop is free of charge. More information on the Vita Activa page.
