How to be feral

In 'How to be feral',Claire Loussouarn invites us to challenge our preconceived notionsof how our body should move. Through a series ofpractices and reflections, she encourages us todisrupt our usual shape and movement and toexplore moving without the head on top, withoutusing the hands, from the spine, with theface ... and in many other ways. In Part 2 she challenges our deeply held beliefsabout our place in the natural world. She showsus how to learn from non-human ways of being inthe world and wake up our feral bodies indialogue with the environment. In all, she offers 91 movementpractices that any reader can use. They allow usto use our moving body as a way to question andcome to understand our conditioning and ourbiases. By disrupting our movement habits andour ideas of what it means to be human, sheshows us how we can tap into our feral selvesand reconnect with our bodies in a moreexpansive way. This is a practical, reflective and beautifully illustrated handbook thatre-appropriates the term 'feral' as a potent wayto bring to light the limitations of our humanperspective. Be ready to see through new lenses! Claire's practice is broadly in the tradition ofAmerta Movement (a form of non-stylisedmovement) - but these movement invitations andpractices are fully accessible to any human.
