Tactility Studies:
Hold To Reset


Presented as part of the Festival House programming for the Singapore International Festival of Arts (2021)






SYNOPSIS

When was the last time you felt safe and free in your own body? A response to a year of collective upheaval and the human costs of ‘pushing on’, Tactility Studies: Hold to Reset is an invitation to audiences to open up their bodies as sites and spaces for performance – to be soft, to wobble, to stretch and uncoil. 






The piece will unfold in three parts: mini-workshops that invite you to hold space and care for your own body; durational performances that pay attention to our collective bodies; and an experiential installation where anyone can sit and spend time with other human, object and plant bodies.

If you’re feeling the weight of aches you’ve absorbed, or reflecting on the callouses that've grown over the skin of your heart, we hope that this is a reminder - where there is tension, there can be release.
