Welcome to LOCKER TALK – A Somatic Workshop for Processing Trans Embodiment in Public Space, hosted and facilitated by Eddy Entropy and Fleshpiece
Our work revolves around how we continue to create a home in our own skin, and how we are cultivating a caring connection with each other, across differently embodied trans experiences.
Why LOCKER TALK?
The locker room has historically been a place of transactional exclusivity where cis-men conduct business in secret to preserve power and control. We would like you to join us as we infiltrate this metaphorical space to host a “locker talk”. What can we envision in queering this architecture together? What have we embodied in the past and present in these spaces like pools, gyms, saunas, and beaches – spaces where trans bodies often come into scrutiny? What will be our future in these spaces? Our nudity can be freedom and allow us to access our own power and vulnerability. Let’s explore this together.
At LOCKER TALK, we invite trans, enby, questioning folks – and their friends, lovers, and allies – to join us in this work. We will process the unique struggles and joys that we as trans folks face in maintaining safety, dignity, ownership, and ecstasy in our bodies through public spaces. When we process this with our bodies and unpack these experiences, we begin to see how our bodies bridging access and autonomy for all bodies.
We will facilitate this in two phases:
Phase One: Bodytalk!
Let’s stretch and get sweaty together – taking time to get active in the flesh and get comfortable in our skin. Bring some comfy layers, get ready to move, breathe, and unleash our layers! Think of it like an open gym sesh, but centered on access and empathy for trans* and enby identity.
Phase Two: Locker Talk!
We invite our trans/enby/questioning folks in the room to refresh and undress – stripping to whatever level of non-sexual nudity is comfortable. We will guide a round conversation on our collective experiences as trans bodies in public space – sharing our reflections, questions, stories and radical vulnerabilities around our bodies in nudity-prone public spaces like gyms, pools, parks, saunas, and FKK areas.
