Think Pieces Improvisation and Interspecies Performance (Kimber Sider)
Think pieces is a special project curated by PhD student Mark Kaethler (School of English and Theatre Studies, University of Guelph).
In this piece, Kimber Sider develops a unique theory of equestrian improvisation. This praxis-based research combines Kimber’s practices with horses with theories of improvisation and performance, as well as anthropological studies, to provide an outlook on interspecies connections that is beneficial for the well-being of all animals. Note: This paper is to be read in conjunction with a silent video of horses and humans improvising together through ground training. View video here.
