This practice research investigates how artist-facilitators can create new performance forms in response to ecological crisis, by developing & applying principles for ‘rewilding play’. Somatic improvisation practices are forms of play which bring awareness to sensory experience during guided movement explorations. This research interrogates whether site-responsive performances created using somatic improvisation practices (eg. The Feldenkrais Method; Contact Improvisation; BMC) can give audiences important new experiences of ‘the wild’. It explores whether including the audience as players in the performance can create an embodied experience of self as living entity both in & of the world, thereby cultivating vital understanding of interconnected, ecological (eco-centric) consciousness.
