a.       I explore how some consciousembodied experiences, as the practice of Butoh and other performance techniquesare tools ?goods for thinking and feeling? anthropological problems, even, oreven more, during the times of  pandemic andvirtual life . (a) I emphasize how the attention towards corporeity andpresence in virtual meetings dialogue with anthropological problems and alsocontest logocentric standpoints.  b.       I will discuss two experiences ofteaching anthropology lead by me in mixed academicand non-academic contexts: a cycle of antirracist actions and some discussiongroups of motherhood.  c.       From these, based in experiences ofteaching, performance and learning, I suggest some trainings that we canexperience as researchers and professors with our collaborators and students.Those tools allow us to think problems related to notion of person, agency,time, memory, nature-culture and post humanism, between others.
