Abstract

This article looks to performing arts and performance studies for ways to grasp and make meaning from contemporary climate change, a phenomenon that influential ecological philosophers regard as highly resistant to human comprehension. Thinking through a lethal protest of climate inaction and a dance between human and fungal bodies, the author argues that these embodied acts enable a novel recognition of climate change's intimate presence and personal/political weight. These performance perspectives also indicate the radical ecological potential of slowing down and learning to recognize oneself in, and as, the surrounding world.
