[Stephen Donnelly]

Dear Candrama folx,

I hope you're all doing well.

I wanted to share my recent publication in with you all. Those with an interest in place-based-research, walking-arts, ritual, improvisation, anthropocosmic theatre / ethics, and settler methodologies might find it of interest!

Many thanks, best wishes,

Steve Donnelly

Cosmic Drift: braiding Nicolás Núñez's contemplative tools with the Situationists' dérive

Abstract
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.
