Tate Modern Workshop

UNIQLO Tate Play Movement of the Earth Workshop

Daily 1 April – 16 April
Families taking part in activity in Tate Modern

Photography Dan Weill

Get ready to create and shake under a giant artwork this Easter!

Movement is medicine.... and we want you to move, make and shake in this two-part craft and dance workshop.

You’ll start by making a wearable ‘quipu’, inspired by Cecilia Vicuña’s vast ceiling-height artwork which hangs overhead; inspired by the Amazon rainforests, the environment and life cycles.

Next is an optional guided movement workshop for smaller groups. Led by dance artist and choreographer Vidya Patel,  you'll explore sound, movement, words, and the natural rhythms within you! Join in or simply watch the beautiful routine unfold around you.

On the final day of the workshop (16 April), families can experience a moving performance of Vidya’s own routine under the giant Quipu, which weaves together live dance, music, singing and poetry.
