Mutual
Sound Making
This practice explores sound as a relational field.
Using the resonant architecture of the face, lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, and breath. Participants learn how to create rich sonic textures, rhythmic pulses, and emotionally resonant soundscapes, using no instrument but each other.
Attention is placed on listening before sounding, and on sensing how sound moves through the body and between bodies. Breath becomes a bridge, and sound becomes a way of meeting.
The practice invites joy, release, intimacy, and creative openness.
No musical experience is required, only a willingness to breathe, listen, and be affected.
Somatic Attunement
for Couples
This couples practice is a guided exploration of deep listening through touch, movement, and shared presence. It weaves together our experience in healing touch, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, the Feldenkrais Method, and relational movement practices shaped by years of teaching and practicing Contact Improvisation.
​​
Participants explore how to meet one another with care, how to sense consent and resonance through the body, and how to navigate closeness, distance, support, and release in ways that feel alive and responsive.
The emphasis is on shared regulation, trust, and embodied dialogue. Touch becomes a language. Movement becomes a response. Attention becomes the ground from which connection grows.

No prior experience is needed. The invitation is to slow down, soften effort, and allow the body to lead the way intimately.

Collaborative Poetry Writing
Inspired by the principles of contact improvisation and drawing from literary forms such as Japanese renga and French surrealism, this practice invites participants into a living process of writing from presence and mutual attunement.
Through guided writing practices on paper, in pairs, and in a shared circle, words begin to move like bodies. Lines respond to one another. Pauses are honored. Resonances between voices are felt and followed.
The work attends to both the body of sensations and emotions, and the body of the word itself. Rhythm, breath, silence, and listening shape how language emerges.
This is a gentle yet dynamic exchange of voices, where poetry becomes a shared field rather than an individual act, and writing becomes a form of contact.

Open to Collaborations
We offer workshops at festivals, retreats, academic settings, and art schools, and we are open to creative collaborations across disciplines.
If you are imagining a context, a gathering, or a format that does not yet exist, we would love to explore it together.
​
Our work unfolds where listening becomes action, and action returns to listening.
Each workshop is shaped by the people, the place, and the moment. We see our practices not as fixed methods, but as living forms that evolve through encounter.
