​Environmental Posthumanities

PERFORMANCE, ​DANCE, ​ECOLOGY

Environmental Posthumanities

Through the exploration of animal and vegetal, nature and environment, power and society, art activism and cosmopolitics, queer and feminist ecologies, speculative fiction and ecocriticism, we will dress the limits and possibilities of how performance and dance are able to challenge the anthropocentric conundrum. We examine our relationship with environment, rethink and redefine the concept of human, consider the effects and potentials of the posthuman. During this workshop, we place equal weight on critical theory and practice (performance, dance, movement research, improvisation...), develop ideas and fluency through the creation of individual and group performances about our engagement with nature, the protection of ecosystems and the psychosocial consequences of climate change, including scepticism, denial, critical rejection, anxiety, indifference and activism.
