I collaborate with others through writing, embodiment, and performance to explore and articulate natureculture plant-people relations. Through natureculture body engagement we lose our cellular structure in the space of gardens or among trees, or anywhere we feel nature connection/entanglement/longing. We become bodies with no beginning or end, no borders or boundaries. Just there. A differently merged consciousness. A radically botanical flow of being. Time slows. The natureculture body takes over. Breath/earth/being.
Following a 35 year career in academia, Dr. Tami Spry is an author, speaker, and communication specialist in developing our relationship with nature through nature/culture writing, speaking and advocacy. She has offered performances and workshops on writing, performative writing, performative autoethnography and more at multiple venues in England, Scotland, New Zealand, Chile, and the USA. Her latest book with Travis Brisini and Jake Simmons, Posthumanist Collaborations in Performance: A Praxis-based Approach to Qualitative Inquiry offers the naturecuture body as a method for writing our way into eco- kinship with nature.
