Abstract

At the tipping point of increasing demands for depleting finite resources intersecting with climate crisis, the push to slow down is paradoxically urgent. This paper is a creative response to the 2019 Perth Festival performance Five Short Blasts drawing on ideas of contemplation, care, empathy and collectivity to argue for an artistic process of slow making.
