The Body Lounge performance created by Ina Stockem is a dance performance/event where the audience is blindfolded, and using contact dance techniques, explores their bodies in space over the duration of the 3-4 hour event. The first phase has the audience come into the performance space blindfolded. They are guided by trained Body Lounge guides to move safely through the space, touch, make sounds, and explore their surroundings. The second phase has the audience move into a "Chill Out" space where they can drink, eat, and touch other participants. They can take their blindfolds off, leave them on, or act like guides; as they wish. The first space had a 30 minute prerecorded musical score. The Chill Out space had live electroacoustic music performance for up to three hours in duration. The music was performed by Shawn Pinchbeck (laptop) and Hello Upan (violin).
