In many hands is an immersive work, leading the audience deep into a tactile and multi-sensory world of testing, touching, listening and sniffing. Without words, the audience handle materials and immerse themselves in corporeal phenomena. In many hands is an exploration of vibrant physicality, a celebration of sensory intelligence, and a subtle social experiment that brings strangers into unspoken communication. If we learn-by-doing, then what’s learned here is a sensitization of nerves, a tuning of attention, and a curiosity for each other. It is part laboratory, part expedition, part meditation - as it unfolds, visitors take their time to engage and explore as they wish, following their noses and curiosities. — Kate McIntosh

The performance is participative, with light physical contact.
