The performer is accompanied by a sign that invites the audience to 'touch me and see what happens'. He then uses the tactile information as a stimulus to generate movement and motivation for what he does. Small moments of relationship emerge from the initiations offered by the audience and the performer's ability to be responsive to the moment of touch. The sign reads: Touch me. Touch me and see what happens. Perhaps I will dance Or I may do something else. If you hit me I will bruise I do not enjoy physical pain. Tenderness is rare.
