Description
I will lead a workshop on my exploratory practice of ‘unrunning’. At its foundation, the practice is a multidiscipinary, sympoetic, anti-capitalist and experiential form of movement that lies at the intersection of queer ecology, deep mapping and activism. Removing the barriers of risk assessment, private land, outcomes, hierarchy or measurement, we will run/jog/make movement around the Dartington Estate, responding to individual desire and consensus to move with nature in the form of a ‘drift’. Along the way, and at appropriate junctures, I will propose certain scores to be experienced. These are designed to attune the senses to the more-than- human, place and bring our true selves into sharper focus. The session can last 1.5-2 hours in length. No special equipment is required apart from something comfortable to run in and preferably some running shoes.
