The author uses this visual essay to encourage experiences of lyrical inquiry as a pathway to poetically, and literally, be with and feel together. She uses photography, performance, verse, collage and poetry to weave a dialogic conversation with the Earth and the more-than-human. Re-Wilding Our Body excavates questions about dance education and somatic experiences to further expand our embodied and empathetic understandings of the world and grow our connections with humans, kin, water and earth. The author questions: what are we feeling connected with as we move? How could we focus on experiences of resonance and relationship in the body? How could we disrupt egotism and work to transform collective consciousness? How could we engage ecology as a meta-mobilizer?
