Abstract
This practice-led-research autoethnographic enquiry is comprised of two parts: a performance titled Performing Wholeness and an exegesis titled “Reclaiming Wholeness After Intergenerational Family and Domestic Violence”. The key question driving both the performance and the exegesis asks: How can Somatic Practice (SP) and Systems Theory (ST) transform the oppression that comes from the lived experience of Family and Domestic Violence (FDV) into wholeness?
