Visiting hours under the covers invites audience members to climb into bed with the artist & do…whatever they want. Instead of a doctor or nurse, the artist asks participants to play a temporary “care partner” role while visiting them under the covers in a hospital bed. Via this experimental & participatory performance, she asks “How have my early experiences of being ‘touched’ by medical professionals impacted the way I experience bodily intimacy today? Can my bodymind learn/relearn/unlearn how to distinguish between ‘clinical contact’ & physical intimacy that can be pleasurable?” Bernard hopes to discover new & unfamiliar relationships, narratives, & movements with each one-on-one interaction.
