Abstract
This article contains two case studies that are shaped as ‘suitcase stories’ referring to collaboration. These stories address the relationships between human and more-than-human beings as they journey through creative processes guided by the perspective of ecological relationalities. The stories presented here are echoes of entangled narratives, in an attempt to voice the perspective of an artist who found resilience through togetherness and co-labouring. Both cases are responses to damaged worlds, and they sought reflection through the embodiment of somatic experiences on eco-conscious experimentations in dance practice. The notion of invitation poetics is presented as a political and poetic framework of ‘becoming’ through practices of coexistence.
