In the context of Open Futures, Jessica continues her research series Rituals of tenderness, which is about immersion, (re)feeling, listening, losing and finding. And on the other hand, together with Karin Arnold, Manon Fantini, Nina Willimann and Nelly Rodriguez, it is about a search "for a place to be": What "spaces" of togetherness do we long for and want to create?
"Next year I want to indulge in Rituals of Tenderness - again and again in different ways, places and with different people and artists. Sometimes for watching, sometimes for experiencing, sometimes as dance, sometimes for learning, sometimes for one person, sometimes for a group. My research is mainly about practices around moments of sensual attention, sometimes wild, sometimes tender. Looking through my notes, I've been homesick for wilderness for years now.... for more sensuality too: smelling, tasting, touching, licking, hearing, sharing, digging, sweating, growing, dancing, spilling, building, moving, gazing, listening, singing, drumming... I think we all are - or at least most of us."
