Shruti Whittington, a specialist in Gurdjieff dance, leads a group of practitioners in a presentation in the galleries. Gurdjieff sacred dances and movements stem from ancient traditions that were noted down by the Armenian mystic and spiritual teacher G. I. Gurdjieff (1866 –1949). The movements are explored in Haegue Yang’s new installation created for Modern Art Oxford, where a network of suspended Venetian blinds map out an intricate geometric formation.

This presentation follows a workshop in Gurdjieff Movements 3-5pm led by Shruti Whittington. Use movement, dance and meditation to explore how movement can create inner stillness. Admission to the presentation at 7pm is free to workshop participants.
