Resisting Extinction offers practices for living and dying together on, in and with a damaged Earth.

Resisting Extinction invites us to look around and notice what we are losing. Together our bodies live inside this ecological crisis.  We must hone our skills, to be receptive, to improvise, to play, to experiment, to grieve, to metabolize, to be together in the unknown and trust we have resources in our bodies to negotiate, survive, and thrive.

We invite you into the forest for a weather walk, a search through deep time for disappearing beings, and a dying and decomposing practice to prepare for potential climate realities.

Performers: Maria Lothe, Sigrid Marie Kittelsaa Vesaas, Olive Bieringa, Doerte Bjerre, Marlene Bonnesen, Angelika Mizińska, Daniel Persson, Joanna Kalm
