—INTIMATE DISTANCE
IS THE SPACE OF WRESTLING AND LOVE-MAKING, ANXIETY AND EMBRACE
wrestling embrace is a series of tools that facilitate interactive exercises.
Designed for navigating questions of consent, conflict, and care in interpersonal relationships, wrestling embrace utilizes physical contact, guided contemplation, and embodied practices with a partner.
Primary materials include a deck of playing cards and exercise mats. The soft mats feature a circular design organized around two proxemic distances: personal space [1.5-4 feet] and intimate space [0-18 inches]. Each unique exercise offered on the cards fosters quiet time for building support by practicing communication and cooperation.
