Sketch of our setup.
We have been invited to draw a new edition of Grazing Choreographies during the OEROL festival, a major theatre, music, and arts festival on the island of Terschelling in The Netherlands, in 2025.
We will work throughout the ten days of the festival on one and the same drawing. (existing of several sheets of paper). Every day, we draw for 1.5 hours from noon on. At other times during opening hours, the drawing can be visited. Come rain or shine, the drawing stays on the dike. En Plein Air, we draw the grazing patterns of the cows as they unfold before us. We are very curious to see how the cows will graze and utilize the meadow day by day. Book a trip to Terschelling to experience our drawing and to visit OEROL.
OEROL festival, June 13-22, 11 am – 5 pm
In November 2024 we visited Terschelling to see what locations we might be able to use for our drawings. We visited the farms of Neeke van Zwol, Corné Zorgdrager, Cees en Margriet Spanjer en Wietse van Deelen.
We concluded that the location at Neeke van Zwols farm was best suitable for the cows, ourselves, the audience, Oerol. We will be, if everything goes according to plan, be drawing on the inland dike. One drawing table to the North, the other to the South.
Esther is pointing out the meadow to the North of the Dike.
