Performance Art with Nature
Tuesday 28 April 2026
1:30pm – 4:30pm
A performance workshop using nature inspired by Peter Finnemore’s Birdwatcher series and Eve of Destruction, 2004.
Participants will develop a simple, 2–3 minute artist performance of themselves interacting with nature in the gallery garden or garden room. Drawing on humour and observation, this performance will be a single, continuous action, exploring nature elements such as plants, soil, birds, weather or sound. Participants will either respond directly to what they see, hear and feel in the moment, or interpret a music track or song of their choice. The final performance will be filmed in one take by gallery staff, creating a live record of it for possible future screening in the gallery.
