In Many Hands
Kate McIntosh
BAM DEBUT
See, smell, taste, listen, touch. Which of our sensory actions is the one you least consider?
Part laboratory, part expedition, and part meditation, In Many Hands is a hands-on, communal examination of our relationship to touch. New Zealand-bred artist Kate McIntosh does away with the stage and performers, convening a small group of spectators for an intimate shared adventure through the particularities and nuances of our tactile sense. Prepare to have your attention awakened and your curiosity tickled.
In collaboration with Arantxa Martinez, Josh Rutter
