Our bedroom or apartment has become the stage to dance, move, and work with the body. It can be shared with other virtual mates and expanded, or just experienced in its intimacy. I asked Anouk Froidevaux, a gorgeous contemporary dancer, choreographer and Gyrokinesis therapist, to tell me about her experience in readjusting her work with the body and her Gyrotonic and healing treatments to the current situation, which implies the use of online platforms. Dancing the Moment, for example, is a workshop in which she guides a community of dancers and non-dancers to improvise movements in a real or virtual space, in order to reconnect with themselves and to nurture an environment of trust.

Even if virtual reality is responding surprisingly fast to some of our needs of gathering, for her, there remains an open question: how can technology assist us in recreating the feeling of being present with one another and of connecting to others through the physical touch which is so important for our wellbeing and personal development?

In June 2020 Urban Subjects[1] were invited to design a post-card for the project KLEINE POST initiated by Public Art Lower Austria[2].

Last year Seth Eisen, an artist, performer and researcher, organised a series of walking tours (Out of Site: SOMA) bringing up the mostly unknown queer history of the last 200 years in San Francisco. The walking tours brought up stories about the ways in which built and social environment(s) have been experienced by queer people; the way these environments existed as spaces to hide from , or spaces of resistance, before the gay liberation.
