De-Sexualization of Touch
Mutuality
Separating physical contact from sexual connotation — cultivating a context where intimate touch is functional, exploratory, and communicative. CI operates in a space where the body surfaces most efficient for weight-sharing (pelvis, chest, inner thigh) are also the ones most culturally coded as sexual. The desexualised container makes the full body available for movement research without cultural overlay restricting the vocabulary.
