Abstract

The video essay contextualizes encounters. According to body phenomenology (Merleau-Ponty 1968) we are embodied intertwined with the world – each and every second in everyday encounters and in more formalised settings, for example education. The video essay highlights an embodied encounter through the case of two young men doing double trapeze, as part of their training towards becoming contemporary circus performers. It is about being courageous, being caught and being dependent on each other – it is about being intertwined. The theoretical frame concerns embodied encounters, and the underlying idea is that embodied encounters have more in it, than what is needed in the particular educational setting. The question is: How do embodied encounters intertwine us?
