The Way of the Duck

Do you feel like a cog in the machine? Are you stuck in a routine? As a counter to contemporary stress, Miles Worner explored the need for frivolity, a word expelled by industrialism, an act made taboo. Inspired by the spontaneous behaviour of ducks in the park, he has constructed a philosophy and a practice: ‘The Way of The Duck’. At the heart of the belief is a rebellious need to be silly, to fully use the body and explore the world with naivety – just act as ducks do. Why not swim in circles, balance on one leg and suddenly give flight because you feel like it? Miles sees it as a dose of urgently needed wildness in a repressively rectilinear system; let’s rediscover our instincts.
