What if care, romance, and desire come together?

In 'O amor natural', choreographer Andrew Graham explores the complexity of touch in human relationships where care, romance, and desire come together. For people with disabilities, touch is often linked to medical care, with other needs frequently ignored.

The concept of consent raises many questions. How do we know what we do and do not want? And how do we communicate this? On what basis can we consent to something we do not yet know? Graham delves into the depth of connection and consent, moving beyond a simple yes or no. Consent is explored in all its non-verbal richness. Whispers, body temperature, breathing, gaze, and speed of movement weave a web of intimacy.

Graham describes 'O amor natural' as "a choreography of non-verbal haikus, where touch is the key to exploring trust between bodies, like the tango that connects two hearts." It invites a deeper understanding of human connection.
