On My Tongue is an upcoming group piece by Emilie Gregersen. The work explores sensorial practices navigating consent, companionship, tactility, and politics of touch. Questions around intimacy, artificiality and the use of the senses are surfing our tongues and feeding our movements. Holding on to emotional loops in the music and the dance, we move through ambivalences of touch and being touched, together. Look for the spine, the hands and the eyes, they are carriers of sensorial loop feedbacks that you are inevitably already a part of.
On My Tongue is a co-production with Dansehallerne and ada Studio, and will premiere in November 2024 at Dansehallerne, Copenhagen. On My Tongue serves as the final piece in Emilie Gregersen’s Touch Trilogy, consisting of the works Caresses (2021) and the solo touch (2020). The Touch Trilogy is a prism of works generated from an interest in a phenomenological understanding of touch. Each of the three works offers its own scenic contemplation of the tactile and how touch plays a role in the way we engage with the world and with each other.
