C.TACTILE - Tracing touch
Memory | Power | Resistance

C.Tactile is a contemporary dance work that investigates the politics and poetics of touch. It asks: what does it mean to embody a female identity in a world shaped by the male gaze? How is touch used to create, deny, or enforce socio-political hierarchies? By centering both the presence and deliberate absence of touch, the piece foregrounds how the body itself becomes a site of negotiation, resistance, and vulnerability. C.Tactile is supported by The KCC Arts Fellowship 23-24 and premiered by the G5A Warehouse Performance Grant. â€‹
