A Bathing Performance is a 1-1 (one with one) performance that invites one audience member at a time to share a personal situation with me: the secular ritual of bathing. It focuses on creating a gentle and safe environment to explore one’s nakedness in an intimate, platonic way. My interest is to share a meeting of nakedness and care with another person. During the performance, you can choose the level of nakedness and intimacy you prefer for that moment. The performance can happen in various locations (a private apartment, a sauna, a forest, a seaside) – To be discussed with participant after booking.
When deciding the location we meet there at the selected day and time. Then, I will share some performance bathing scores, some possibilities on how can we explore bathing and nakedness in an intimate, platonic manner.
