About this Event

Cultivating an embodied reality Touch&Play’s was born from research into the edges of Contact Improvisation and our roots lie in dance and somatic practice. We specialize in creating rituals where embodied listening and inclusion are at the center. The sexual revolution is not about sex, It’s about connection! We choose to deepen the concept of Eros beyond what the mainstream defines as “sexy” and focus on the relationality of co-creation in whatever consentual form this emerges. Life as a vision of play and possibility We invite you to be present in the moment and take radical responsibility for the choices you make according to your power and expanding your own edges. This ain’t no Neo-Tantra Baby! yes, we are also children of the new-age woowoo culture. The difference is, we’re not centered in ego and esoteric discourse, and focus on community en felt sensation instead. It’s time to be part of the flock You step into leadership when you lead from the front, when you contribute to the group and also when you support others in stepping into their power. It’s about showing up, participating, and helping to shape the culture we want to create together. Nossa segunda edição será com a temática de Tramar o(s) nós. Quais fios sustentam o nosso encontro? Qual a textura dos nós que nos mantêm unidos? Como se entrelaçam as nossas diferenças? O que vibra quando nos reconhecemos em coletivo? Que corpo criamos quando estamos juntes? Tramar é um gesto da coletividade. É tecer singularidades que, ao se cruzarem, dão origem a algo novo, um tecido vivo, feito de eros, potência, tensões e afetos. Os nós são pontos de força que nos lembram: a potência do “nós” nasce tanto da harmonia quanto da fricção. Na busca de uma comunidade que se relaciona com as diferenças e potencializa as singularidades. Este é um convite para que você entre neste com a gente, trazendo seu fio para esta trama comum. ♦ English ♦ Weaving the Knot(s). What threads sustain our gathering? What is the texture of the knots that bind us? How do our differences intertwine? What vibrates when we recognize ourselves collectively? What body do we create when we are together? Weaving is a gesture of collectivity. It is the weaving of singularities that, when intersecting, give rise to something new, a living fabric made of eros, power, tensions, and affections. The knots are points of strength that remind us: the power of “we” arises from both harmony and friction. In the pursuit of a community that engages with differences and empowers singularities. This is an invitation for you to join us, bringing your thread to this common weave.
