searching for intimacy at PAF

During one month I am in a residency here at PAF (Performing Arts Forum) in France together with the Sweet and Tender Collaboration people. I thought this would be great place to resume the sleeping project and to find new strategies to search for intimacy.
In the first week at PAF I went for an intimate walk with Thelma and Hajime in the beautiful forests and meadows surrounding the monastery. This walk in itself was an intimate experience. We talked about intimacy and what it means to us. For Thelma intimacy has a lot to do with body temperature and smell. She told us about her relationship with her husband who has brain cancer. Since he became ill their intimacy has undergone a lot of change. His body temperature sank and their skinship* feels very different. For me intimacy is about feeling safe and trusting the other person. Together we came up with a number of strategies to track down intimacy. :
-intimate walks: going for an intimate walk with somebody in search of intimacy
-sleeping project: sleeping with somebody for one night in one bed
-intimate skype conversation: what about virtual intimacy? After spending the night with somebody I want to have a skype conversation with that person to evaluate the intimacy shared during the night and to see if a similar kind of intimacy is possible on the web.
-intimate actions: I want to post a portrait series of one-minute intimate actions recorded on video. I ask people what to them is an intimate action they normally wouldn't share with other people.
-intimate dinner: Thelma and Valentina want to organize an intimate dinner during which the awareness and temporality of intimacy is explored through a score.
-intimacy in performance: we are going to perform three different improvised, intimate dances: 1) spectator watches from a window of the monastery with a monocular. performers dance in a distant meadow. 2) one-on-one performance in private room with eye contact 3) one-one-one performance in private room without eye contact.
After each performance the spectator will fill in a survey evaluating the degree of intimacy experienced.
