Konstantinos Mihos´ contact improvisation class offered
moments of anonymous intimacy beyond verbal communication. My body, your body,
two strangers.
Touch by touch shy gestures take shape of full body
contact. Smile, laugh and sweat guide us through the process. Shame is gone.
Liberation is here. After two hours I don´t know your name but I know your
body. No words are needed.
The physical discourse is initiated by random objects. Choose
the spot, place the object, escort the other one. What is safe? What is not?
Are you avoiding certain parts of the body? Which parts are you comfortable
with? Find your personal taboos. It is possible to locate three kinds of no-zones:
sexual, safety related and those addressing dirt. An analogy? From micro to
macro, from individual to society?
