IKA ESKA PLAY SPACE: Performance LAB Touch & Tension
Hosted by Madita, SAKO & Ulf
We are shaping a Common Wellness Nexus: From Performance to PlayLab.
Have you ever seen a sound?
Listened to an image?
Maybe even touched a thought? …just imagine!!
Imagine we come together to perform, create and experience this collectively!
Imagine you planned to go out to see a performance. How nice is it now to simply lean back, watch, listen, maybe feel - you are passively enjoying, whilst others perform for you?
Then! Over the night, this performance evolves into an interactive play - and from there it slides into a connecting play party of the performers and audience.
Pleasure and Pain, creating Sounds and Images to the nerves of the ‘instrumental body”. Maybe the audience become the performers, maybe performers become audience. Let´s touch, scratch, massage, Gua Sha each other. Let’s work on body tensions - to see sounds and listen to the pictures our brain creates, once being touched.
A Common Nexus, spatial organism of sound, image and touch.
About the Performance LAB:
COMMON WELLNESS NEXUS
is an immersive performance that explores how to make internal, energetic processes under the skin tangible and visible. Through real-time brainwave (EEG) tracking and interactive movement, participants and audiences collaborate to explore how decisions and care manifest in the body. The performance explores critical wellness practices, as participants undergo personal sessions that are "hacked" and influenced by collective movement and touch. Audience actions shape the mental and emotional landscapes of the performance, creating a tangible representation of shared intention.
About the PLAY SPACE:
Our Play Parties take place at dusk, in the floating pyramid of IKSK, high above Holzmarkt & the Spree River, where we wish to welcome a protected and privileged environment for all forms of physical interaction, imaginative sexual and non sexual experimentation and sophisticated creation and play. As organizers, we feel our special location in the city is a metaphor for a sexual culture that belongs at the heart of society.
You are very welcomed to create a special character, embody a role, bring with you toys and tools - as well as knowledge about consent, communication and safer sex practices.
Experience in meditation, bodywork, martial arts, dance, theatre, kink or other "embodied" knowledge is an advantage to be admitted. We particularly enjoy navigating the interface between art and kink practices and try to create individual bliss as well as collective magic.
Practicalities:
Admission is limited to half an hour.
We count on our guests original, unusual and delightful dressing skills.
For people we don't know or who are coming for the first time, we recommend at least not arriving alone. As we only have space for a certain amount of people and wish to maintain the quality of the event, admission cannot be guaranteed.
We expect acted sensitivity on group and space constellations - to the circumstances of unexceptional boredom, disturbance of the collective consent and questionable small talk - we might reflect with you outside the pyramide or ask you to leave
