my process often feels like a wandering-wondering mode not led by a concrete intention, but more out of little impulses and curiosities. via inviting pores, pauses, porosity and permeability in human actions, my practice asks: how may human move with and to be moved by the more-than-human world where livable actions such as deep listening, entangled agency, symbiotic relations, and odd kinship are already implicated in their dailiness? how do human become with, participating in the livable relations happening in the more-than-human world which we are a part of?

Livable Futures student fellow Calista Lyon presented her new work The Unknown and the Unnamed in March at the Urban Arts Space in Columbus, OH. A collaborative hybrid performance drawing from a range of forms including the educational lecture, essay, memoir and family slide-show evenings, the piece shares the natureculture narratives of Australian native orchids and their ecological, scientific and political entanglements. The narrative is woven around place, specifically Lyon’s childhood home in Australia.
Visiting Artist André M. Zachary Creates Afrofuturist Visions
In Autumn 2018, Livable Futures co-sponsored a residency by visiting professor André M. Zachary in ACCAD’s Motion Lab performance research space. Zachary worked with students from the Department of Dance, producer Norah Zuniga Shaw, and a team of ACCAD faculty and staff to explore all the possibilities of the incredible intermedia technologies on hand in the Motion Lab.
