Rethinking linguistic conventions with the body in focus – this is the task Adam Linder has taken on in Auto Ficto Reflexo. Inversely, he has appropriated the codified language of cultural production and mediation for his own choreographic purposes. Interviews with artists, cultural-policy rhetoric or critique become rhythmic-conceptual generators of movement in this duet that is staged through levels like a game. Together with his co-choreographer and performer Justin F. Kennedy and the sound designer and musician Adam Gunther, Linder's choreographic form is located between movement, language and sound effecting. Taking inspiration from socialised ‘street’ dance styles such as gliding, waving or the paddy-cake, these forms that evolve body-to-body are inherently connected to current social and technological conditions: flow, fragmentation and repetition are all pathways for communication. Although Linder – originally from Australia and now living in Berlin – takes his conceptual approach seriously, he also cultivates a relaxed irony and ‘flirts cheekily and subversively with the parameters and marketing strategies of bourgeois theatre practice’, as Klaus Witzeling wrote in the specialist journal tanz. Adam Linder has danced with the Royal Ballet and worked with Michael Clark and Meg Stuart, among others. His ‘Choreographic Services’ have also been presented since 2013 in art contexts, most recently at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris or the Frieze art fair in London.
