Practices of Empathy

How close can two bodies dance without touching? What tension, curiosity, or vibrations emerge in the space between them? Touch - both literal and metaphorical - is both risk and invitation: sensing warmth through an inner radar, connecting with another body, offering oneself as a landscape to be respected, grasped, and shared. Skin becomes a porous interface where self meets other. What happens when boundaries are crossed, and how can we embrace such a process?

The project draws from somatic improvisation, choreographic research, and encounters based on (non)touch. Participation explores proximity, elasticity, awkwardness, vulnerability, and intensity of influence, examining empathy not as an innate quality but as an embodied practice.

The workshop runs twice for 120 minutes each, on Saturday and Sunday, both days starting at 10:00.
