INVITATION TO TOUCH
an interactive dance installation and film night

will take place this Friday, August 10th at Skizum Studios Berlin
featuring Invitation, Rachel Brooker/anima dance's current group work,
and three erotic films from the 1970s.



In Invitation the dancers make themselves available as objects, offering themselves to be touched, but still retaining an intense humanity. Juxtaposing this voluntary objectification with the more commercialized objectification that occurs in porn, this performance of Invitation confronts viewers with their own sense of touch, self, and sexuality. Touch is triggered by desire, desire is stimulated by archaic reaction patterns imprinted in our selves. What happens when the immediate, archaic desire to touch and to mate meets with another person, when individual desire turns into a dialogue in a artistic context?


The event begins at 22:00, with the dance installation beginning after the first film, at 11:30. A complete program (including the very excellent and hilarious films being shown) is posted at http://skizumberlin.wordpress.com/.
