Abstract

Performance for Wonder and the Wild event at the Great North Museum Hancock as part of practice research project Living Stone. The project investigates durational site dance improvisation as a way to explore our relationship to deep time and our intra-being with the more-than human. Put simply, the practice it is about dancing with rocks and reflecting on our own constantly changing mineral composition. The work is informed by deep ecology and geology with scholarly underpinning from phenomenology, new materialism and posthumanism.
