A session designed primarily for neurodivergent children and adults, and those with sensory needs who prefer a more relaxed experience

'Serendipity Island is a new participatory performance, celebrating play, connection and chance encounters

Artist Lina Lapelytė has created a maze-like installation, transforming the Turbine Hall into a collaborative stage. Create the work as you become part of it, moving through a grid of wooden barriers. You are also free to quietly watch the performance unfold, from the Turbine Hall bridge.

Lina is interested in how individual sounds and actions come together to create music and choreography. Listen out for sounds that invite you to move or make a noise, and perform a series of actions that contribute to a ‘score’. The sounds and actions you make will join with others, creating a shared composition.

Take a leap into Lina’s world of play, where art, music and improvisation meet in unexpected ways.

UNIQLO Tate Play Lina Lapelytė, Serendipity Island is in partnership with UNIQLO.

This session is primarily for neurodivergent children and adults, and any other visitors with sensory needs who prefer a more relaxed experience, plus their families, friends and carers. Those who are looking for a playful-yet-still-relaxing hour to start the day can visit the space – just with smaller groups so we can support any additional needs you might have.

Resources will be available on the day including:

Access Station
Ear defenders
A quiet breakout space
Fewer people in the space and smaller groups
