Abstract

This exposition is a meditation on the embodied sensations of being idle learnt from sitting with and dressing as a cat, to the contentious issues of pest control in New Zealand, Aotearoa. Dress, one of the most distinctively human cultural forms, is used to explore both the human-animal divide and animal –becomings. Putting into practice Kate Soper’s concept of ‘alternative hedonism’ and Ron Broglio’s ‘surface encounters’ this is an engagement with writing, a performance project and the complex relationship with our fellow creatures and environment.
