- In this article, I explore how intergenerational performance ecology might distinctively contribute to developing an ecological performance practice. It focuses on a practice-led research project, 'Wild Life' – an intergenerational dance performance with eight trained and nontrained adult and child performers that explored ‘wildness’.
Drawing on critical perspectives in ecology and ecological performance and dance, the article explores the ecological potentials of directing and collaboration in the context of intergenerational performance ecology. Through critically reflecting on examples from the 'Wild Life' devising process, an approach is proposed called the agency of practice, which focuses on how human and nonhuman agency can emerge in the creative devising process.
This article is a companion to my other output in this submission, ‘Children, Ecology and Performance’.
