dreams, wishes, and pure imagination

Tactility Studies

Instagram

Tactility Studies (2018-ongoing) is a long-term performance project jointly manifested by theatre and dance artists Chong Gua Khee and Bernice Lee. Emerging from their exploration of ‘the body as theatre’, each iteration of Tactility Studies is an invitation to audiences to open up their bodies as sites and spaces for performance—to be soft, to wobble, to stretch and uncoil.
