How to Be Feral

In How to be feral, Claire Loussouarn first challenges us our preconceived notions of our body should move. Through a series of practices and reflections, she encourages us to disrupt our usual shape and movement and to explore moving without the head on top, without using the hands, from the spine, with the face… and in many other ways.

In Part 2 she challenges our deeply held beliefs about our place in the natural world. She shows us how to learn from non-human ways of being in the world and wake up our feral bodies in dialogue with the environment.

In March 2022, I gave a talk drawing from the article on how to remain embodied when using screen technology which can be viewed on Youtube.

Dancing with nature off the leash
