Collective Stimming for Diverse Bodyminds

Public Moves

© Galya Feierman

“Stimming” – short from self-stimulatory behavior – is repetitive movement or sounding performed mostly by neurodivergent people – like Paweł themselves – to regulate sensory input and balance emotions. But all bodyminds can stim and we were all stimming as kids. Join this session to (re)discover the joy of stimming and the power of doing it collectively. Following the practice of neuroqueering, we will unmask hidden expressions of our bodyminds, play with the environment and some stimming objects. We will explore communicating with each other through stimming and creative potential of it.
