Rhetoric of Flirtation//

Klaas Devos

Rhetoric of Flirtation focuses on a social inter-relational practice to find ease and empowerment in vulnerable exposure. It is not about seducing or gaining the other but rather about the pure play of desire without end. The workshop proposes exercises situated along the boundaries between mindfulness, embodiment and rhythm. In a series of exercises we engage in challenges to awaken the excitement and uncertainty that lay at the core of this social dynamic.
