ABSTRACT
Performative engagements with landscape can be enlivening awakening events. The author argues that theater is a powerful vehicle to dynamize the interrelations between the human and the nonhuman, between landscape, ocean, and human movement. It offers the simple technique of the slow walk as an evocative means of making communities aware of their declining environments. It is a socially communicative practice through which coastal peoples can begin to learn and grapple with their environment’s future.
