How to be feral

In 'How to be feral', Claire Loussouarn invites us to challenge our preconceived notions of how our body should move. Through a series of practices and reflections, she encourages us to disrupt our usual shape and movement and to explore moving without the head on top, without using the hands, from the spine, with the face ... and in many other ways.In Part 2 she challenges our deeply held beliefs about our place in the natural world. She shows us how to learn from non-human ways of being in the world and wake up our feral bodies in dialogue with the environment. In all, she offers 91 movement practices that any reader can use.They allow us to use our moving body as a way to question and come to understand our conditioning and our biases. By disrupting our movement habits and our ideas of what it means to be human, she shows us how we can tap into our feral selves and reconnect with our bodies in a more expansive way. This is a practical, reflective and beautifully illustrated handbook that re-appropriates the term 'feral' as a potent way to bring to light the limitations of our human perspective.Be ready to see through new lenses!Claire's practice is broadly in the tradition of Amerta Movement (a form of non-stylised movement) - but these movement invitations and practices are fully accessible to any human.
