Linda Luke has worked across multiple platforms in the performing arts industry for the past 20 years: as a performer, choreographer and director. In her work she aims to deepen sensitivity and excavate the subtle undercurrents we experience in relationship to self, each other and the external environment. Linda is invested in exploring ideas around diminishing the ‘human-centric’ and focussing on the rich diversity of non-human elements that exist in our environment.

Linda’s practice is grounded in the methodology BodyWeather. Founded by Min Tanaka in Japan throughout the 1980s and 90s, BodyWeather draws on both Eastern and Western dance forms, Eastern philosophy and avant-garde performance practices. A central premise of BodyWeather is that the ‘body’ (human or otherwise) is a never fixed, de-centered, always transforming entity. Linda has been a dancer for BodyWeather Sydney based dance company De Quincey Co since 2004 and has performed in numerous productions for the company (2005 – 2021). 

Linda has taught extensively through public workshops and facilitating artist residencies such as BORDERS (2022 – 2024). She initiated and taught ongoing weekly BodyWeather classes for De Quincey Co in Sydney (2005 – 2019). Linda has been a guest lecturer for Newcastle University, Sydney University and Hanoi Academy of Performing Arts and Cinema, and she holds a tenured position teaching at the University of Wollongong.
