The Baishatun Mazu pilgrimage has been first employed by the U Theater as a new way of actor training for those in pursuit of an understanding of their alternative bodies; now many theater practitioners relish it as an annual opportunity to review one's connection to the self, the land, the people, and the Goddess Mazu. Most prior research has focused on the relationship between the Baishatun Mazu pilgrimage and the construction of cultural identity. Few inquired directly into the body experiences of on-foot pilgrimage. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to investigate how the movements of walking are pursued, sensed, inscribed and transformed into body memory by theater workers participating in the Baishatun Mazu pilgrimage. This paper focuses on the alternative bodies of theater workers and explores the self-awareness mode of this long-distance walk by analyzing the grounded feet, weight shifts, tight muscles, and pains. Using my own body as a research tool and method, this paper employs my phenomenological ethnographic writings, discusses several theater participants' accounts and draws the concepts of "kinesthetic empathy" to rethink the inter-relationship between individual body practices and interpretations of their meanings. The results of this paper found that these theater participants in the Baishatun Mazu pilgrimage concentrated on the practices of "grounding." They not only focused on the feedback of their inner body and senses, but also observed outwardly the dynamic inter-relationships between the group and the individual. This paper concludes that the space of individual and the space of multiple interpretations exist side-by-side within the rhythms of collective walking. When they posited and projected their body and mind deeply into the local context of pilgrimage, they accumulated the dynamic meanings of "kinesthetic empathy" that generated and renewed body knowledge and memory with each step.
