The experience and variety of walking practices have never been so
broad, relevant or unpredictable. Walking Bodies charts some of
their very latest developments. Editors Helen Billinghurst, Claire
Hind and Phil Smith put out a call for artists, activists,
academics, radical walkers and psychogeographers to discuss,
perform and share their experiences of current walking cultures. In
these essays, provocations, artworks and documentations, new
terrains emerge and diverse energies and thinkings reflect the huge
response to the initial call and the demand for tickets to the
conference. 'Walking Bodies' evidences anxieties, exclusions and
gradual but major changes of direction for walking arts, towards
more considered and embodied practices that re-navigate their
terrains and challenge assumptions about trajectories through the
unhuman world. Here are the beginnings of differently negotiated,
shared, provoked and provocative ambulations.

'Ways to Wander' is your invitation to experiment with a whole
range of different ways to 'go for a walk'. Rather than picking up
a map and following a footpath, the book offers 54 intriguingly
different suggestions, tactics and recollections, all submitted by
artists (most of them involved with the Walking Artists Network).
There are plenty of ideas you can just go out and try, but others
are more performative or explore the psychological, cultural and
philosophical aspects of walking Pop the book in your back pocket,
leave it in your rucksack, share it with friends and take them on a
walk, use it in creative workshops, read it as if each instruction
were poetry, engage with each page as visual art or as a
performance activity, let it remind you of places you've been or
walks you'd like to do. When the moment takes you, be inspired by
the variety of inventive and reflective ideas mapped out here and
then simply... wander.
Where do we find the dead? Do the dead appear in our dreams? What
is it like to play dead? This book is an exciting exploration of
the relationship between death and play in performance. Exploring a
range of artists and creative disciplines that remember, personify
and re-imagine the dead, it playfully unpacks the psychoanalytic
concepts of the Death Drive, Desire and the Uncanny as a way of
thinking about performance. Embodying the Dead draws on work of
Gary Winters and Claire Hind and the various qualities of deadness
found in their projects. The authors' work includes live art,
theatre, installation, Super 8mm film, walking arts practice and
durational performance. This book includes scripts and scores of
their performances, original creative texts, interviews with
internationally renowned artists and a series of practice-led
research tasks to support readers creating their own imaginative
performance work. Rich in creative and critical content, this book
is ideal for students of drama, theatre and performance studies who
have an interest in devised theatre, theatre making, writing for
performance and intermedial practice.
