Article Title：Tracktivism: Eco-activist walking art as expanded choreography in rural landscape
Abstract：
This article offers a reflexive account of my journey from dance into walking examination of tracktivism: the rural, eco-activist, pedestrian performance the past eight years. My dancer's perception of walking art in the sculptural choreography on an expanded scale: bringing attention to spatial patterns in of the walking body. Here I examine the ways in which the growing oeuvre employed this choreographic device to (re)frame walking art as eco-activist an art walk may be shaped in such a way as to foreground the spatial nature in working agricultural landscapes, giving examples from my practice. I also routes expressly designed to be walked, the performer's material body becomes human scale against planetary scale. Thus the practice might be perceived to function as emancipated eco-activist choreography that offers a means of revealing and embracing our ecological enmeshment with/in complex more-than-human flows.
