HUG (wt) by Marion Plantey. Performed as part of TNDD Studio Round on Dec 6th, 2024 in Südufer in Freiburg, DE. HUG (wt) pilot performance focuses on the importance of boundaries and conscious touch practices, using movement to spark conversations about connection and safety. It’s a first step toward creating safe spaces—not only in dance but in everyday life—while shedding light on a subject that impacts many of us.
