Touch Me Hold Me Let Me Go

Touch Me Hold Me Let Me Go

is an algorithm designed to help one speak and move from a place of support and ease; to practice making requests and stating boundaries from an embodied place.

It is expressed through a number of forms:

A set of poems

A lecture-performance

A workshop

A durational practice

I use the word algorithm as a way to provide an alternative to the more opaque algorithms in our devices and on the internet; algorithms that increasingly mediate our relationships to one another. I offer TMHMLMG as a reminder of the older technologies and wisdoms in our bodies. I offer it as an invitation towards relating to one another and to non-humans in ways that are gentler and hopefully, more sustainable than the ways of the current world.
