Tete-a-Tete

Over dit evenement

Join one-hour playful conversation through drawing on skin between four to seven participants. Here we use no words. Drawing tools are eco-cosmetic pencils.

Why to join?
We are often overwhelmed by language, trapped in definitions, expectations, and noise. In Tête-à-Tête, we return to something more primal, soft, and intuitive— communication through colourful lines, touch, and presence.

This experience offers:
A break from performance and pressure — There’s no need to explain, impress, or speak.
A reconnection with your body — both as a canvas and a communicator.
Moments of intimacy, curiosity, and deep attention — where time slows, and presence becomes tangible.

Your body becomes a moving sculpture.
Touch becomes language.
Silence becomes connection.

Tete-a-Tete takes place on soft sculptures. They invite rest, and offer grounding. You're not here to "do it right" — you're here to feel, explore, and simply be.

We could offer this ticket price, thanks to Amsterdam 750 fund.
It includes:
- Experience
- Materials (Eco cosmetic pencils)
- Tea & Cookie

Participants about the experience:

"For me the beauty of Tete-a-Tete lies in its simplicity, in returning to childhood, exercising myself and my openness through poetry and abstraction, leaving ready-made structures and rules. Tete-a-Tete is a unique way to break out of an oppressive and judgmental system into a more fluid world of ”unknowing” reflecting by being here an now with your skin, colors, shapes, and open eyes … to be able to lightly interpret many interactions and let others do the same," —Malgorzata Rey

"I am far from the world of art, but it attracts me enormously. Tete-a-Tete experience showed me (like in the mirror) the very essence of who I am: adventurous, but square, seeking for rules and willing to break them, searching for deep meaning in everything I do while sometimes the being is the meaning. So to me, it was a journey to myself." —Tamara Anosovich

"As someone who loves and deals with literature, I can say that languages not only build bridges between people, they also build walls and borders. This is especially so in languages other than native language. You have as much freedom to act as the number of words and language skills you have… However, which words can be more effective than a person's eyes and body? What language can suffice to express the depth of a soul?..

That's why I highly value and find your silence and body-centered projects so meaningful. Because in silence, status, poverty, and wealth, local and foreign are lost. Silence is instructive. Silence is listening, smelling, feeling, getting excited and understanding. Silence is equality…"
