Sexuality, intimacy and disability
We invite you to a conversation about sexuality, intimacy and boundaries in a life with disabilities. Together with researcher Marianne Træbing and actor Antoniett Vebel Pharao, we will explore the experiences, perceptions and realities that people with disabilities encounter in their sexuality and intimacy.
Dancer Sebastian Grubb introduces us to how dance can be used to understand different bodies and create familiar spaces through movement.
With the performance work Gimp Gait, we take a closer look at how dance as an art form can put perspectives on bodily encounters.
Together we explore the nuances of intimacy, body and disability.
