Authenticity is a confusing labyrinth. What seems shallow at first may reveal profound truths, while the seemingly genuine can turn out to be a mere facade.
So is the unperformed always already performed? What does it mean to “fake it until you make it”? And if all the world’s a stage – how to enjoy the show without falling into the traps of harmful illusions?
When am I really myself?
What do you truly desire?
How can we connect on a deeper level?
Join us at this year’s Touch&Play Germany as we explore the interplay between honesty and make-believe. Pack your masks and costumes as well as your guidebooks on authentic relating as we try to peek behind the curtains of life’s infinite theatre stages!
More on the T&P-Festival:
“Over the past years the Post-Contact scene has gathered force with many CI-fusion forms bubbling up everywhere. Teaching on the chemistry of our connections however is still very limited and while many local communities acknowledge the need for clearer boundaries and guidelines in this realm these are often limited to written documents, leaving practitioners to figure things out for themselves. The value of embodied spaces that welcome the experiential exploration of the many unspoken needs that we bring to the dance floor is thus as present as ever.
T&P is a sex-positive, bdsm-friendly space open to dancers and players of all genders, abilities, origins and sexualities. Many of the Touch&Play teachers who’ve helped shape this body of work over the years will return to co-create a container that feels both comfortable and challenging and where we can connect through both a shared classical CI vocabulary and through the learning of new norms and forms that can enrich our dances, our relationships and our lives.”
