Sens(in)g Shower
Welcome to this performance in your Shower!
Yes, you have read correctly, today we will spend some time in our showers together. However, please make sure that your shower is dry.
In order to get the most out of this experience, I would encourage you to follow these preparations:
Please wear warm, comfortable clothes but have bare hands and feet.
Heat your bathroom as much as possible before the performance.
Complete this performance in the evening or morning, just before you would go for a real shower normally.
Please have a speaker ready, so that you can listen to the audio-recording via your speaker. Turn the volume up, so that you can follow my voice.
The performance will involve movement, so I encourage you to warm-up your body before-hand.
After having completed the performance, I invite you to return back to this page and to leave a short feedback, reflections, thoughts or questions in the comment section below. If you would like to share an image of your performance space or as a response, please email it to: greta.gauhe@yahoo.de. (Please note: if you do not want your response to be shared on this website, indicate this in your email)
Thank you, I look forward to meeting you in your shower soon!
Watching Britney Spears perform 20 years ago has been my ultimate inspiration to pursue a career in dance. Ever since then, my entire existence has revolved around the realms of dance, movement, and art. This passion has taken various forms in my life—I am not only a performer but also hold the role of artistic director for the Follow Through Collective. Additionally, I am pursuing postgraduate research at the Center for Dance Research in Coventry.
One aspect that brings me immense joy is collaborating with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I firmly believe in the incredible power of collective actions and this belief is strongly reflected in my performance works. During these endeavors, I strive to cultivate a sense of community, fostering an inviting environment where people are encouraged to actively participate and join in.
When I'm not immersed in my numerous projects, I cherish the precious moments spent with my two children. They offer me the opportunity to view the world through a lens of playfulness and excitement, making every experience a vibrant and thrilling adventure.
