Exploring touch as a mode of creative care

We communicate so much through physical touch. From the smallest gestures with strangers to a lingering embrace with a loved one, touch can be a way of connecting with, communicating to, and caring for others.
This workshop will be a playful exploration of touch as a creative mode of care. You will be invited to partake in simple embodiment practices that will support listening with the whole body. Together, we will practice navigating consent verbally and nonverbally through partner and group exercises.
Open to all. No prior experience necessary.
Facilitated by emily liptow movement-based artist and a candidate in Duke’s MFA in Dance: Embodied Interdisciplinary Practice program. emily brings their experience as a contact improvisation dancer, teacher, and caregiver to explore how to engage in touch creatively and consensually to build cultures of care.
