Activators Conversation: Tema Milstein and Rhiannon Newton on modes of communicating and experiencing human participation in ecological crises and restoration (original) (raw)

Activators, 2021

Abstract

In their Activators conversation, Tema Milstein and Rhiannon Newton speak about modes of communicating and experiencing human participation in ecological crises and restoration. Dancer/choreographer Rhiannon Newton and associate professor of environment & society Tema Milstein discuss the role of the arts, embodiment, Indigenous knowledge, and storytelling in how we make sense of our relations within the more-than-human world. Drawing attention to utopian and dystopian approaches, they discuss the idea of ecocultural identity and how this might help us understand how humans are already always entangled with their environment and other lifeforms. Thinking through how people express, perform, or hide a sense of one-ness or connectivity with non-human life, they consider how we are disciplined by practices of spectatorship in theatres, theme parks, and the wild.
