Touch

If only,
we could touch each other more,
we could have,
more connection,
more love,
more responsibility,
more dignity
and fewer wars.

Shall we try that please?

 

Touch is a two part interactive series: a performance and a stop motion film installation.

 

What is the difference between my body and your body?
Where is the line between sensuality and sexuality?

 

It encourages the simple sensation of touch as a way to bridge the gap between
two people, two communities and even two nations.

 

This interactive performance and film installation creates the feeling of vulnerability in an intimate space.
This vulnerability blurs the line between the performer and the spectator and allows them to share power.

 

What happens when the ‘powerful’ passes on the power to the ‘other side’? 
What happens when closed intimate spaces require people to touch? 
What happens when time s l o w s down?
