Audio Guided Practices (2024-2025)

I repurpose exercises traditionally used in performer training as audio guided, self-led practices: embodied forms of inquiry into oneself and the relationships between the self and the various collectives surrounding it. I run workshops and collaborate on events that incorporate embodied work in the studio with walking and other activities outdoors in public spaces, working towards generating tools for participatory and independent creative processes.

I work with artists, researchers, and members of specific community groups such as women, migrants, and/or residents of specific neighborhoods. I was commissioned to contribute to the urban regeneration theatre project SpazioTeatro organised by Laqup and Alma Teatro in Turin (October 2017-November 2018), see photos above. I facilitated a workshop using two audio guided walking practices in Gdańśk, as part of the Globality Forum (May 2024). I developed a new version of the stepping practice in collaboration with artists Isa Fontbona and Alex Gross as part of Training Creative Acts and Action at the Guenther Uecker Institute, Schwerin (September 2025). See below photos of participants engaging with this audio guided practice and the traces of their embodied research left behind.

I share three audio guided practices here that explore the body in the act of walking / stepping, with suggestions on how and where to use them.

Walking Practice 1
Please use these instructions by listening to them via speakers in a space where you can work physically. The size of this space matters, unfortunately, and you will have a better experience in a larger space. If a studio space is not available for you, a museum or train station might also work, though you will need to use headphones and inevitably need to negotiate with other users of that space.

Walking Practice 2
Please use these instructions during a walk outside, preferably using headphones. You can choose to be in a natural environment or in an urban space, though a thoroughfare where other humans and more-than-humans negotiate space would most comfortably align with the audio guidance.

Stepping Practice
You may use this guide in any type of space, using a speaker or headphones, provided you have space to move. You might appreciate working with bare feet on a non-slippery surface.
