Linda Kapetanea (1973) graduated from the State School of Dance in Athens (GR). Soon after she received the State scholarship to continue her studies in New York, where she collaborated with the choreographer Irene Hultman. As a performer Linda has worked with various dance companies in Greece. Between 2002–2006 she performed with Flemish Ultima Vez Company/Wim Vandekeybus (Blush, Blush Movie, Sonic Boom, Puur, Here After Movie). In 2006 she and Jozef Fruček formed RootlessRoot as a vehicle for their own productions, research and teaching.
Together they are developing the research programme Fighting Μonkey – an applied methodology of martial arts in the education of dancers, actors and movement practitioners. They regularly give workshops at international festivals and in vocational schools. During the last years she has been frequently invited to teach at P.A.R.T.S., La Raffinerie and Jette Dance Studio in Brussels, at Danscentrum and at DOCH (University of Dance and Circus) in Stockholm, University of Arts in Helsinki, Tanzquartier Vienna, SEAD-Salzburg and ImPulsTanz a.o.
