EXHIBIT/ionism
Watching and letting oneself be watched is an important aspect in the relation between a model and a painter / photographer and as well between a dancer / performer and members of an audience. Communication through touch is a fundamental element in Contact Improvisation. Letting oneself be touched can be a playful, adventurous journey into risky territory – not necessarily breathtaking acrobatics, but who knows? Not knowing as an option. When do you say “NO”, set a boundary? Multidirectionality – How direct can we be?
