Description Like a virgin is a improvised piece for five dancers. The piece started with an idea to combine multisensorial work with obejcts and contac-improvisation. The work with objects has been a important part of the process but the objects are not used in the performance. Another starting point has been to see touch as a versatile and essential way of being a human being. The aim has been to make it visible that touch moves us. Like a virgin is holistic study of what it is to be a human beign. The work is also a study of the art of performing and exploration into improvisation as an independent form of performance.
