In what kind of school could we have learnt all the things that nobody taught us in reality? How to feel and communicate a yes and a no in your body; how to flirt, maintain your boundaries, touch with care and how to love yourself?

Like the workshop, the short film SCHULE DER LIEBENDEN is part of a humorous, sensitive, empowering and genre-bending art experience on the subject of love and intimacy. It is created for people with and without disabilities.

Video artist and somatic sex coach melanie bonajo shot this educational film 2.0 in collaboration with the HORA ensemble as well as daniel cremer and Yanna Rüger.

melanie bonajo is a queer, non-binary artist, filmmaker, feminist, sexological bodyworker, somatic sex coach, educator, cuddle workshop leader, and animal rights activist. In their videos, performances, photographs, and installations, they explore pressing issues of coexistence in a paralyzing capitalist system and address the erosion of intimacy and isolation in an increasingly sterile, technological world.
