Often described as the "thinking person's choreographer", Charles Linehan's dance is understated and sensitive.

Offering all the challenges and satisfaction of a good, brainy puzzle, his works aim to ease you into their message and leave you pondering, rather than bombard you with noise, hype and flashing lights.

His current pieces, Happy Days and New Quartet, have the characteristic Linehan hallmarks of minimal stage clutter, street clothes and moody, repetitive music.

Inspired by the music of Sonic Youth's Jim O'Rourke, Happy Days attempts to draw audiences under the spell of sound.

Although billed as a quartet, the pieces are more like a stream of encounters between dancers, aiming to show the strengths and fragility of human relationships. Reworked by soundscape artist Robert Merdzo, the acoustic accompaniment is simple, with a meditative quality.

A reworking of 2003's Disintegration Loops, New Quartet is a quirky package of movement, music and pure white light. The piece opens to William Basinski's recordings of piano loops. Two dancers appear first, in what looks like a casual duet.

The next couple's encounter is spikier and sectioned by slashing arms and torso blocks. The stage is invaded by shadows, the music darkens and the dancers manipulate their limbs as if their own bodies are reluctant to obey.

Both works have been well received by critics, having been called "intellectually satisfying and visually stimulating" by The Guardian.

Charles Linehan trained at the Rambert School before going on to work with various companies throughout Europe, returning to the UK in 1994 to set up his own company.
