Real Impact

What peers, collaborators, and industry voices say about Lina’s work and impact.

'I have been collaborating with Lina for more than 15 years, creating numerous multi-artform works and delivering wide-ranging professional development programmes for performance-makers of all levels of experience, internationally. I continue to work with Lina as I am perennially inspired by her rigour, her discipline, her singular vision, and her generosity of spirit. More specifically, I think she is one of very few international practitioners making genuinely boundary-pushing work in the field of dance-theatre.'

'Lina’s centrality too dance in our state is almost peerless. Evident in the award-winning works she has created here, and her critical place as part of Garry Stewart's acclaimed ensemble at Australian Dance Theatre. Her commitment, not only to her own extraordinary choreographic practice, but too nourishing and building the local dance ecology, is the sign of a true artist.'

'Lina, your work is a scalpel of precision. Combining artistic detail and high level execution with deep social commentary. Watching your career over the years has been to witness longevity, persistence, consistency and tenacity'.

AL SEED - Al Seed Productions

NICK HAYS - Executive Director Australian Dance Theatre

CALLAN MERRISPRING - Programming Executive, Adelaide Festival Centre

ANDY PACKER - Artistic Director, Slingsby Theatre Company

'Lina consistently creates work that captures global human anxieties and offers them up to the audience in a way that jolts us out of our malaise. Her art is distinctively her own, exceptional and unforgettable, fueled with equal parts anger and compassion.'

CHRIS DRUMMOND - Former Artistic Director Brink Productions (2004-23

'Lina Limosani is one of our great choreographers. Her vision is unique, carrying its hallmarks of inherent power, sinewed muscularity and deep fractured beauty. She reveals to us our inner lives in form and space. This opportunity is exactly what Lina needs and deserves to lift her art to an even higher level.'

JULIANNE PIERCE - Independent Creative Producer

'Lina Limosani is a visionary South Australian choreographer. As an independent practitioner, Lina maintains a highly productive and active schedule of contemporary dance development, production and presentation. She is highly respected by dancers and audiences alike as she presents a unique choreographic language exploring mythology, human relationships, the body and sculptural form. Her performances bristle with originality and she is highly regarded as a collaborative choregrapher with unending reserves of creativity and artistic vision.'

KATRINA LAZAROFF - Artistic Director The Mill

'Lina Limosani lives and breathes her artform. I have witnessed her commitment to her practice since she was a young dancer at Australia Dance Theatre and have followed the development of her work as an independent artist and choreographer since then.

Lina's work is meticulous in detail, bold and contemporary, possessing the true meaning of innovation. She challenges herself and her collaborative teams far beyond what seems humanly possible to achieve her vision, which results in high quality work, that is beyond what we see from her peers and funded company works.'

Amanda Phillips, Director, Felicity Arts and Former Artistic Director Dance Hub SA (2018-23)

'Celebrated as an artist of global standing, Lina Limosani is wholeheartedly dedicated to extending the parameters of Dance. This is achieved through ambitious cross-art collaboration which is vital to 21st Century artistic rigour, inquiry and art form development. Lina's choreographic voice and ongoing collaborative investment results in a practice that combines deft physical performance and unforgettable illusion to reframe convention, archetype, myth and fable - as evidenced in the thrilling BÁRBAROS (2023), and, What Lurks On The Edge (in development). She delivers erudite thought-provoking Australian works, and there is no doubt that she will continue to do so.'
