In recent years, during any socio-political crisis around the world, various physical mobility and collective vulnerabilities based on asymmetric positions of its actors, have become more visible in public space. They direct us to continuously explore the space for our political practices and coexistence as a form of resistance to today's pervasive capitalist realism. In the context of constant (digital) surveillance of almost all our mobility and vulnerabilities, this work explores how to touch the body that touches the screen. It points to the closeness of touch, from the perspectives of women, queer people, immunocompromised people, artists and marginalised dance practices, which all focus on the principle of response-ability: by not keeping a distance and staying out of the world, but rather from dealing directly with the world. This work stemmed from several years of artistic research on discourses and practices of care, vulnerability, depression, and immunity, applying specific kinetic and choreographic language. The basic movement principles in this choreographic language come from the domains of: physical gathering from rave clubbing dance, political protests; digital gathering and interaction; somatically-affective movement of slowness (standing, resting, breathing, spiralling, bodily fluids), feminist dramaturgy; plants movement and co-existence; body-mind centring somatic practice, etc.
