- Title
"It's the RUSH.".

Hahn, Tomie
- Abstract
The article explores the sensuous nature of extreme experiences in performance and their potential to evoke insightful realizations. Fieldwork as a process or methodology for examining the essence of the culturally extreme is presented. Two narratives are recounted from the fieldwork to illustrate the realm of the sensually extreme in fieldwork. The ability of extraordinary experiences to transform the self is analyzed because such experiences are situated between reality and the constructs of human beliefs.
