Touch Stays explores the poetics and politics of touch though intertwining poetry, essay, and manifesto. The essay is about permanence of touch, and how words carry meaning.
I write through the process of the poetic movement performance Take This Touch Inside Your Body. The process spans over a year and intratwines many people, friends, lovers, and colleagues together with thoughts, projects, and play.
I write in the first person because I let this project under my skin, inside my organs, flowing through my words and my blood. This project is not me, but part of me that has been hiding for a long time. This is me-visible, me-poem, me- chaos, me-bodymind. How can a performance reveal the permanence, non-ephemerality, and accumulation of touch? How does such a performance affect the audience’s experience of response-ability1 and activate care for their surroundings, others, and themselves? How can the experiences of consent, touch, pleasure, and play on the body be translated and made visible to the spectator or even felt inside the body of the witness?
