In this conversation with Certified Advanced Rolfer™ Miquel de Jong, we explore an embodied movement practice called ‘living tensegrity’ that can deepen the quality of touch for participants. De Jong describes a partner exercise in which two people use lightweight bamboo sticks held between their fingertips to practice sensitive, nonverbal communication. Originally developed while teaching contact improvisation in China, the exercise has since been brought into Rolfing trainings, peer groups, and wellness settings.
