Drop by, join in and explore alternative ways of taking up space at Tate
Open to all ages and abilities and led by both disabled and non-disabled artists, this event champions genuinely inclusive activities for everyone.
Young artists from Heart n Soul and Corali Dance Company will be joined by artist Judith Brocklehurst to test multiple ways of taking up space at Tate. Get involved in activities as you move between the floors of the Blavatnik Building.
Join artists from Do Your Own Thing as they take you on an immersive journey inspired by the Olafur Eliasson: in real life exhibition and Tate’s collection. You can learn some dance moves for their silent disco or relax and unwind in their very own rain room.
With youth company Kick Up you can make a dance inspired by the collection, draw your dance and then perform your movements back to the artwork. With artist Judith Brocklehurst you can explore the sound of making and materials.
Testing, Testing, Testing events are produced in partnership with Heart n Soul and generously supported by Daytrippers Charity.
This event will be photographed for Tate and our partners.
