In the first part of this workshop, we’ll engage—hands-on in partner work!—in tactile explorations of our speaking instrument: the mouth. You could call this “oral mapping,” as it involves thoroughly feeling, exploring, and having the entire mouth area—inside and out—massaged, without missing a single centimeter. By surrendering to these touches—which are both exploratory and unintentional—we can rediscover and get to know our mouths in a new and different way. It’s not unlikely that this will be quite pleasurable for some people. It’s certainly relaxing and insightful. Who has ever engaged with this body opening in such a way?
The second part explores the diverse expressive capabilities of our mouths. Through various playful exercises, we experiment with noises and sounds, with words, sentences, and narratives—alone, in pairs, and in a group—always seeking out the pleasure and joy in daring to do it, savoring it, and nurturing it. What sometimes begins as an experiment gradually evolves toward the end into a delicate ritual, immersed in the intoxication of sounds and voices, silence, and listening.
Workshop participants will have the opportunity to attend a play party following the course—starting around 8:30 p.m.—which will take place on the same premises. More information will be provided after you register for the course.

NOTES ON THE EVENT
The goals of our events are collaborative learning within the group, supporting shared processes, and personal development. Couples and all other types of partnerships or group dynamics are welcome, but you should be aware and open to the fact that the courses are not designed as partnership experiences and that we address each person as an individual. For example: To involve all participants equally, we usually work with random partner combinations during the exercises. This means that both same-sex and opposite-sex combinations will occur. Participants should generally be open to working with every person and every body. Exceptions can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Gender identity, sexual orientation, age or membership of often marginalized groups such as BBIPoC, migrants, refugees, LGBTQIA*, disabled people, etc. are not criteria when registering and selecting participants. This means that, in principle, everyone is equally welcome and we endeavor to do justice to the respective constellation and different needs, but our resources are limited. If you have any questions in this regard, please contact us.
We expect you to act with care, be communicative, prioritize consent, and be mindful, and we encourage you to respect your own boundaries and take personal responsibility.
Hate speech will not be tolerated. Please bring "Candy Speech."
We reserve the right to ask participants to leave the workshop if their behavior is hurtful or problematic, and we reserve the right to do so without explanation—though we will likely try to explain. Workshop fees would then be refunded in full. Any further claims are excluded.
