TOUCH HORIZONTAL PLEASURE

Commissioned for Bosse & Baum, London, 2017

Touch Horizontal Pleasure takes the method of drawing used in We Perform: I am in love with my body exhibition at Bosse & Baum gallery – of outlining around a moving body – as a starting point for a four hour improvisation. Seven dancers, including Florence Peake, will consider the floor and the body as a site for falling in love, using the sensation of movement to contemplate ones own body as a complete territory of pleasure to sink into: falling backwards into the horizontal becomes falling into, rising onto, the vertical.

Dancers: Katye Coe, Iris Chan, Rachel Gildea, Lizzy Le Quesne, Rosalie Wahlfrid, Eve Stainton
