About the event

Free taster session for the Abramović Method society - no membership needed!

Interested in Marina Abramović? Got something to get off your chest? Do you like trees? If you said yes to any of these come join us for our first session where we will lead the group in the exercise 'Complain to a Tree'! We will be meeting in Seminar F (above Fox Cafe) to introduce the session and lead a warm up exercise, then we'll go to the Fox Rosehill gardens to pick a tree to whinge at for a bit. Afterwards there will be a relaxed pub social for anyone interested.

Focused on the performance artist, Marina Abramović; we perform collaborative exercises made to slow processes down and create moments of meditation and mindfulness as well as exploring the way in which we do things day-to-day. Using her Method cards we will take part in exercises such as "Complain to a tree", "Swim in a freezing body of water" and "Explore a space without use of sight or sound". These experiences will challenge our routines and help us explore what it means to be a human in this world. As well as these excursions, we have themed socials, and screenings - all relating to performance art, meditation and slowing down. ANY student can join, no need for any prior knowledge of Marina Abramović. An interest in collaborative mindful exploration is all you need!
