Abstract
This article discusses training practices in performance and landscape, and proposes that such practices offer experiences that resist metaphorical structures of a late-capitalist society, particularly in relation to the concept of ‘the environment’. To do so, it draws upon George Lakoff and Mark Johnson's work on ‘metaphorical concepts’, as part of a broader discussion about the nature of the relationship between humans and the landscapes they inhabit.
