Exploring the relationship of how we are both shaping and being shaped by our surroundings through embodied conversations with artists and thinkers, the Worlding Podcast expands our awareness of our more-than human surroundings and traces interpersonal connections by inviting each guest to recommend an important person for them to be interviewed next, similar to a string figure. Hosted by dance artist Renae Shadler, this show has an organic life of its own and tends to meander in unpredictable and unexpected ways.

Ep #6.2 Sleep as an agent in the constitutions of worlds | Worlding Podcast

During a recent artist residency on the island of Örö in the Finnish Archipelago writer, artist and researcher Ally Bisshop was overcome by a wash of fatigue. Sensing a pull between the two opposing forces of sleep and desire, she asked how exhaustion could help her to read this ecology with more curiosity, generosity and sensitivity.
Ally felt a tension between ambition and surrendering to her lethargy. She found it was useful to draw on the mythopoeia figures of Eros (desire) and Hypnos (sleep and death) as a device for getting out of the habits of thinking landscape or non human bodies mechanistically and discovered that by thinking through these forgotten figures she could begin to think and move otherwise.
