This dissertation centers sensuous movement-based performance and practice as particularly powerful modes of activism toward sustainability and multi-species justice in the early decades of the 21st century. Proposing a model of "sensuous ecological activism," the author elucidates the sensual components of feminist philosopher and biologist Donna Haraway's (2016) concept of the Chthulucene, articulating how sensuous movement performance and practice interpellate Chthonic subjectivities. The dissertation explores the possibilities and limits of performances of vulnerability, experiences of interconnection, practices of sensitization, and embodied practices of radical inclusion as forms of activism in the context of contemporary neoliberal capitalism and competitive individualism.Two theatrical dance works and two communities of practice from India and the US are considered in relationship to neoliberal shifts in global economic policy that began in the late 1970s. The author analyzes the dance work The Dammed (2013) by the Darpana Academy for Performing Arts in Ahmedabad, India, in relationship to the Narmada Bachao Andolan-or, the Movement to Save the Narmada River-on which it was based, as well as to India's history of modern dance, nationalism, and women's movements. She discusses How to Lose a Mountain (2012) by the Dance Exchange in Washington, DC, alongside the anti-mountaintop removal movement in Appalachia to which the work speaks, and in relationship to the Dance Exchange's "Moving Field Guides," the choreographic and community-based education methods created and utilized in the piece's creation, as modes of sensuous ecological activist performance and pedagogy. The primary somatic practices of the transnational contact improvisation community and the interconnected transnational Burning Man community, contact improvisation (CI) and ecstatic dance, are studied as practices of pilgrimage and nomadic subjectivization, which the author argues foster Chthonic subjectivities.This cross-cultural analysis highlights the transnational development and circulation of sensuous activism in India and the US, which further elucidates possibilities for sensuous bodily practices in and as activism in diverse local but globally imbricated contemporary contexts. The dissertation investigates how activists, artists, and movement practitioners create spectacles and/or facilitate sensuous experiences of ecological awareness that stand at oblique angles to neoliberal ideologies. The author shows how the examples resist the possessive individual's sense of separation and isolation at the level of the body and its perceptions by bringing attention to one's embeddedness within and responsibility for human and nonhuman ecologies, revealing the body as a political agent and bodily practice as an important mechanism for ecologically-conscious social transformation.
