The focus of this audio guide is a walk from the podcast series "Invitation to Walk // Hör-Spiel-Spaziergänge." The four episodes lead to body-awareness experiments while walking. They are intended for individual or communal exploration of the city through somatics, choreography, and artistic research. The content touches on anatomical-physiological aspects of perception, background from body philosophy and embodied cognition, the history and practices of walking art and performance art, as well as urban history.

This walk is dedicated to walking and getting lost, specifically walking when it is not just about moving from point A to point B. During the walk, perception exercises are suggested. Make sure you can ensure your safety at all times while you are out. Ensure your playback device is sufficiently charged and use headphones without noise-canceling so you can hear ambient sounds. Choose appropriate, weatherproof shoes and clothing to walk comfortably outdoors.

The walk is partially accessible, as not all sidewalks are lowered. If you have a visual impairment, I recommend undertaking this walk with a sighted companion. An alternative location for the walk can be any point in a city where you can stand and find interesting.
