All the workshops and sessions and dirty playgrounds are places we visit because we want to experience ourselves differently, to encounter others, to become others. Transformation, change, becoming other, becoming close, metamorphoses, turning inside out, turning outside in, being turned inside out, being lifted somewhere else, going through the ceiling and deep into the earth, wondering, marveling, being surprised and touched by the unknown and the un/known, everything in, everything out, inventing the un/heard, sensing, approaching, circling around, trying, tempting. But all the workshops and sessions and games are not accessible to us right now, pause, lockdown, retreat, distance. I therefore recommend this fine guide to "becoming an alien" by my dear and talented friend Tim for all those who still want to experience the physical with "Huiuiuiuiuiuiui!" feelings, which will make you feel completely different...

The best way to do this is to go to an undisturbed place with your headphones on, press play and follow the instructions...
