breathing-through-tension

In a world where conflicts and escalating geopolitical situations are so present we wanted to zoom in on the micro scale of what tension looks like physically in the body and between two people. In breathing-through-tension we are interested in which forms tension take, and how it is expressed. How does it collect? Does it have a place in the body it resides physically? How does tension travel through one’s body? How can it dissolve? What kinds of situations does tension create between people? How does it spark? How is it diffused? Where does tension end and violence begin? How do we deal with tension and conflict in a useful and constructive manner?
