Abstract

This essay develops performatively through somatic research related to conscious listening in verbal and embodied communication. The poiesis ensues from phenomenology, butoh, and Zen, explaining butoh as a protest form of dance and therapy with origins in mid-20th Century Japan and still continuing today. On walking back, the text slips inward—awakening matters of environmental precarity and a somatic ethic of planetary care.
