Lucie Strecker and Mariella Greil will present a performative intervention entitled Shaken Grounds, Porous Zones: Where Body and Landscape Tremble, focusing on the body’s innate capacity to tremble as a way of releasing stress, tension, and trauma. The performance foregrounds the interweaving of physiological and psychological processes to offer embodied insight on the seismic landscape of an ecologically, politically, and economically shaken world community. By addressing the terrain in which the distinctions between body and landscape dissolve, this work responds to rising ecological grief, recognizing that, like the Earth itself, bodies register tremors and ruptures. Through somatic art practices, these shockwaves can be transformed into contemporary rituals of resilience, where land and bodies are understood as porous, interwoven entities, each holding memory, trauma, and history. Encountering and cultivating responsibility and care toward shared futures rests on our capacity to live in resonance with the Earth’s deep rhythms.
