Adam Linder (born 1983 in Sydney, Australia) is a contemporary dancer and choreographer known for his work at the intersection of dance and visual arts. He received the Mohn Award in 2016.[1][2]
Early life and dance education
[edit]Linder trained at the Royal Ballet School in London. After completing his training in 2002, he danced with The Royal Ballet.[3][4] Later, he decided to join the Michael Clark Company.[5]
Career
[edit]Linder's independent works started with a series of performances called Choreographic Services (2013–2018). The first in this series, Some Cleaning (2013), reinterpreted cleaning gestures into a sequence of choreographed movements. The series concluded in 2018 with Service No.5: Dare to Keep Kids Off Naturalism, presented at the Kunsthalle Basel.[5][6]
In 2018, during his residency at Callie's in Berlin, Linder developed The Want. This piece explores desire through an interaction between a client and a dealer, inspired by Bernard-Marie Koltès's play In the Solitude of Cotton Fields.[5]
Other works include Loyalty (2017), and Drip Tekhne (2024), a recent production for the Danish Dance Theatre.[7][8]
Linder's practice spans different formats, creating staged works for the theatre and durational performances for exhibition spaces.[9]
Exhibitions and awards
[edit]In September 2008, Linder received The Place Prize in his duo with Lorena Randi for the work Foie Gras.[10]
Linder's works have been presented at the Kunsthalle Basel, the Schinkel Pavillon in Berlin, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. He participated in the 20th Sydney Biennale (2016) and the Liverpool Biennial (2016).[11][12] In 2016, during the Made in LA exhibition at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, he received the Mohn Prize for Artistic Excellence for the work Kein Paradiso, accompanied by the publication of a monograph on his stage works titled Who Is Surfing Who.[13][2]
