Workshopping the body as a site of memory transformation scar tracing and personal mythology. We will explore the feeling of belonging sensuality and fluidity. We shift to painting and drawing on each other’s bodies where we trace and map our physical forms honouring scars tension points and the unspoken stories carried under the skin. The event offers a space to touch without expectation to be seen without judgment and to find playfulness in loosening the knots that we hold within us

.

Tracing the Wound: Body Memory and Myth by The Playhouse Collective is for the first time at IKSK exploring through body mark-making scar tracing and tactile rituals the process of tracing the body’s stories—its transformations wounds and resilience. Celebrating the fluidity of identity and the expansion of a post-human conceptualisation this event invites you to explore your personal mythology—using touch movement and artistic rituals to dissolve barriers and embrace your fullest most authentic selves.

By weaving elements of gender fluidity trauma work sensuality and self-exploration we create a 'playhouse' space — where bodies are perceived as landscapes of experience where fantasy and authenticity merge and where the pain of love can begin to be seen in its most expansive and unbounded form.

[the event will be done in a mix of English and German and inclusive of all genders ages races]
