Abstract

This Dream Team has been collaboratively developed by members of the Walking as Research Praxis (WARP) group. We aim to use our shared affinities to develop knowledge around walking and walking praxis and invite you to join us to engage in experimental walking praxis. Based in practices of speculative wanderings, and deploying feminist materialist and critical posthumanist theories, we will playfully explore walking’s rhythms, potentialities and intensities for choreographing bodies’ relationalites and sensorialities. We will:
● Begin with a brief theorisation of walking(-with) research;
● Followed by a walking activity;
● Finally a collective discussion of what comes to matter from the walking and an attending to how walking as research praxis shifts research methodologies.
