Walking Stumbling Limping Falling

There is, it seems, an intense, invisible pressure to walk normally. Straight is the gait. Call it ambulonormativity.

For about 9 months, two walking-authors/artists – Alyson Hallett and Phil Smith – found themselves wrestling with not being able to walk normally. They wrote to one another about it and, amongst other things, reflected on:

prostheses ~ waddling ~ Butoh ~ built-up shoes ~ walking in pain ~ bad legs ~ vertigo ~ 
falling (and fallen) places ~ hubris ~ bad walks ~ scores for falling down ~ 
​walking carefully ~ disappointment.


This is their conversation. From it, there emerges an 'Alphabet of Falling', a sustained reflection on the loss of normal capabilities, anecdotes and autobiographical stories, and the beginnings of a larger discussion about stumbling and falling: the pedestrian equivalent of blowing an uncertain trumpet.
