Hello, Welcome to Greetings!
This is a 1-1 (one with one) performance about intimacy and getting to know each other. In the beginning I propose to have a small walk outside if you are ok with that.

Here we are back in space…
As I mentioned earlier this is a performance for one person at a time. I will propose 4 different games we could do and you can decide 1 or 2 of these that we can play the following hour. In case you do not like my proposals and you want to suggest something to do I am very much open for that only to be related to intimacy in one way or another, and to be able to explore it in this space. As a reminder, do not feel pressured to do something you do not want to and we can keep discussing if needed on how we proceed throughout the performance. And, in case you want the performance to stop you can let me know…

My first proposal is the Singing game. My idea is that you will select one of your favorite songs and I will sing it for you and then I will select one of my favorite songs and you will sing it for me. We can also use my tablet for music and lyrics…
The second one is the Body Game. In this very cozy tent we can lay next to each other for around 10min. I also have different variations: we can lay next to each other, holding hands/no hands, spooning/no spooning, naked/dressed.
The third option is the Dream Game. In the bathtub I have lots of small papers, some of them have questions or statements such as “What do you want to do when you grow up”, “Share a childhood memory” or questions focusing on the theme of intimacy. For this game we can sit in the bathtub with the papers drinking some herbal tea and answering one after the other these questions until we finish our tea.
These are the 3 options I propose and you can select one or two according to what excites you and want to do today, or propose something else. Before ending we can also play the last game: the Word game.

The last game for our meeting is the Word Game: In this game we will fill up the ABC poem of the other. For each letter of the alphabet we can write a word or a phrase that we somehow relate the other and/or our meeting, based on the time we had together. You can also be creative in how you want to use each of the letters etc. And in the end we can read and exchange these poems
