Advances Felt Thinking, a mode of personal and environmental self-inquiry rooted in movement and nature.
As forests burn and oceans rise, attunement to the natural world has never been more urgent. In Dances with Sheep, Anna Dako details Felt Thinking in Movement, an ecosomatic methodology intended to deepen an individual's connection with the environment and with themselves. Through site-specific improvisation, practitioners develop the ability to notice their surroundings and reactions, building a dialog with the natural world. Dako explains the processes encompassed within Felt Thinking. Practitioners use free movement to interact with the landscape and become attuned to its sights, sounds, scents, and sensations. Gradually, participants focus on their psychological experience of time and cultivate greater awareness of the relation between nature and the self. Combining insights from performance studies, art therapy, and counseling, Dances with Sheep will interest anyone looking to rediscover their place in the natural world.Author Biography
