This score is very different from the others in that rather than actively seeking for touch or using a specific tactile stimulation, here we will witness passive touch through what our environment offers which will generate a truly authentic way of moving and art making. I want you to choose a location, preferably outside as the natural elements can offer instantaneous tactile sensations which can surprise you, however if this is not possible you may wish to use a space inside but consider opening a window to allow these natural elements to touch you. We will be using the method of the dwelling body and noticing where we sense our environment through stillness, using touch as a mode of listening whilst our noticing is what drives us to move/draw and have a tactile conversation with our environment.

Below are some images, films and questions you can think about whilst responding in your chosen medium, however if you are inter-disciplinary you may respond with both mediums which can be done in any order or simultaneously. Before you begin please listen to 'Acclimatising the body' recording in order to open up your tactile palette to receive touch. Once completed, there is a form for you to fill out at the bottom of this page and I would like you to send the video of yourself moving and (for artists) pictures of your artwork to my email address which is situated at the bottom of the form. Finally, a huge thank you for taking part in this exploration and just enjoy the process and get creative.
