“A Walk in the Zombie Body”<\/p>\n

\"Phil<\/a>
Phil Smith walks like a zombie.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In this paper,\u00a0Phil will be\u00a0talking about his latest work on zombies, performance and walking. He’s been trying to push beyond a walking \u2018in relation to the zombie\u2019 and think about how we can walk \u2018in zombie\u2019 and why we should. Along the way he\u2019ll be looking at a new zombie movie from Argentina, weighing up thingness and travelling into outer space. It\u2019s sci fi meets phenomenology. And he’ll be bringing some copies of his new book on the living dead, The<\/em>\u00a0Footbook of Zombie Walking<\/em><\/em><\/a><\/em>\u00a0for sale at the knock down price of \u00a33 each.<\/p>\n

“Developing experiential openness and reciprocity in\u00a0Viridian\u00a0<\/em>(2014), a cross-generational community dance experience and practice as research screendance project”<\/p>\n

As well as screening the cross-generational screendance,\u00a0Viridian<\/em>,\u00a0this paper will discuss how the project\u00a0applied Shin Somatics\u00ae,\u00a0processes and principles\u00a0to develop experiential openness between participants and a growing awareness of the capacity we have to empower each other. In the context of Shin Somatic practice, Ruth\u00a0refers to this form of empowerment as a reciprocal empathic exchange between participants and as a process where we begin to understand more about ourselves through practising experiential openness and letting go of egocentric behaviours. This empathic exchange facilitates an understanding of the potential we have to learn from each other. The paper will examine how somatic movement processes facilitated our ability to flow into new modes of being and engage more deeply with our humanity. It features a multiplicity of voices, for the use of \u2018we\u2019 and \u2018our\u2019 aims to\u00a0denote the collaborative and inter-subjective nature of the creative movement processes, which were shared and experienced together.<\/p>\n
