_ Artist residency 4-12 August
During the цілування каміння їбання тростин exploration two key practices are invited to merge and marry. Kissing a rock is a process led, research based and manifested through performative action/experimental theatrical play/group happening/video/object practice. The act of “Kissing a Rock”, featuring a symbolic stone figure, addresses the political nature of surfaces (bodies, objects, gestures). A rock as a change in a story, which setting varies, layering contexts while maintaining clear&consistent practice scenarios. Kissing stones is explored compulsively, rawly, intuitively with a frame, co-created with a particular space.
The second entering point of the project drips from the lived experience of a sexuality related chronic pain condition. By including walking-cane-dildo-extention into the practice/expressive sexuality it aims to contribute to the change of fascist perception rooted in the often excluding system fixation on ability. Seeking to dismantle the medicalization and pathologization of bodies in pain, offering a platform where discomfort is an acknowledged reality which co-exists with pleasure.
The methodology of tryout will invite both practices to find their shapes in the new space and create a new form quality. Kissing rocks, fucking walking canes, and everything what comes with that. During the residency a playground space will be created to be explored together during the days of practice sharing on 13-14.08.

workshop: kissing rocks fucking walking canes
This workshop is a deeper entry into the raw duet of stone and cane, where political surfaces and lived pain meet in performative collective exploration. Rooted in the symbolic act of kissing a rock and the embodied resistance of cane-f_cking, we’ll explore how pleasure and discomfort co-exist and re-shape narratives around ability, risk, sexuality, and collective form.
After a practice introduction participants will be invited to co-create situations. The playground will be provided, the play we create together.
For the both days of sharing the confirmation of Encountering nudity/partial nudity, Physical touch, Openness to contact with the playground objects is necessary.
There will be no body fluids exchange There will be the checking-in practice No-play area and a witness/watcher position possibility.
