<b><i>Cosmic Drift: braiding Nicolás Núñez's contemplative tools with the Situationists' dérive<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Abstract<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">This practice-as-research investigation springs from the author's ongoing work of re-orientating their existing critical walking practices - which owe theoretical and methodological inheritance to the Situationist dérive
- in a North American context. The following account explores engagements with two examples of 'braided' practice (Jimmy & Andreotti, 2019): first, a self-directed program of Nicolás Núñez's Anthropocosmic Theatre 'tools' - specifically contemplative running
and slow walking - testing their effects outside of a studio space. Secondly, I describe a further braiding of Núñez's participatory tools with a site-responsive dérive-inspired practice. This attempt at hybridisation reveals an opportunity for the potential
development and application of an enhanced critical-contemplative walking practice as a focused creative research methodology.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
