Tasha Diamant greets her audience naked and without a script. She explains that her intention is to create a space in which we can experience our mutual vulnerability. Then, to a large extent, she hands the 75-minute time slot over to the people who have shown up. Diamant asks questions sometimes and answers participants’ queries thoughtfully. But she doesn’t lecture and leads only minimally. I dug it. The Human Body Project slowed me down, and all sorts of stuff about shame, safety, and joy came up. A beautiful immigrant woman, who has lived in Canada over a year, talked about how it’s been impossible to make friends. A guy who wasn’t wearing socks—and not because he’s a hipster—didn’t say much, but I felt like he was brave for being there. Simply audacious.
