Sonic Kinesthetic Forest: Fostering Ecological Empathy

Sonic Kinesthetic Forest is an interdisciplinary research project that explores novel methodologies for studying trees and forests through embodied sound, movement and drawing practices. Our video article reflects on this interdisciplinary research through the lens of a performance piece in which embodied sound, movement and drawing practices were intricately interwoven with a forest landscape. The process of developing this artistic work has strengthened our conviction that embodied interdisciplinary knowledge is urgently needed to support and bring new dimensions to the wide array of nature-based climate action initiatives happening around the world today.
