Visual & performing arts

Circus performers performing handstands. There are three people that are connected.

In a touch-starved world, these powerful circus artists explore how connection and intimacy exist and flourish through a broad spectrum of relationships.
Skinship explores and celebrates relationships of all kinds, while challenging the traditional belief that intimacy should be solely reserved for romantic & sexual relationships.

Skinship uses highly skilled and innovative group acrobatics, hand balancing, contortion, foot juggling, and more, to illustrate the importance of affection and intimacy between friends, lovers, and chosen family.

Skinship is a sensory-sensitive show, that has been lovingly crafted by a primarily queer and neurodivergent cast to prevent overloads or anxiety.

Skin to skin, hand in hand, side by side.

We strive together, seeking what connects us rather than what divides.
