Abstract
This article investigates the creation of ‘Until We Meet’, an outdoor sensory performance that used pre-recorded audio tracks to recreate the sensation of touch for participants. The project was designed to engage individuals who are unable or uncomfortable with direct physical contact, offering a remote alternative to experience touch-like sensations. Through practice-based research, including rehearsals and participant feedback, the study explores how sensory language and diverse types of touch can evoke emotional connection and bodily awareness through audio. Employing an interpretive framework, the research highlights the potential of these audio-guided performances to foster sensory engagement, connection and well-being, especially for individuals with limited access to affective touch. The findings underscore the broader implications for integrating touch-based experiences into accessible and inclusive creative practices, offering new possibilities for therapeutic innovation in both physical and digital spaces.
