Tuning Forks
Drawing on the relaxing, purifying and transformative potential of public baths and their role as places of ritual, intimacy and vulnerability, Public Bath is a performance score following the cyclic and timed procedure of the Sauna.
The practice is based on the physiological and liberating benefits of singing and sound and the trance inducing potential of repetitive durational collective practices.
