Mark To The Music
Line-up
Mark To The Music
Immerse yourself in a sensory and intuitive mindfulness session, combined with music and a drawing session.
After the success of "Mark to the Music" during the Amsterdam Dance Event in the Museum of the Mind, we bring this mindful art experience to Parallel. Explore your inner world through sound and color, using mindfulness-based techniques.
This multidisciplinary art intervention is guided by Jolien Posthumus, a professional mindfulness trainer and creator of "Mark to Music". The beats are provided by DJ Nelly. Let yourself be taken on a personal journey, with the power of electronic music and sound through a guided visual meditation.
Jolien Posthumus created this program especially for Amsterdam Dance Event in 2022 and has been a successful program ever since on several events. Electronic music is taken out of the dancefloor context and integrated in a proven meditation practice that supports your mental health. With this program Museum of the Mind, Parallel and ADE aim to highlight the positive impact of art and music on mental health.
There are 2 time slots available to be chosen: h13:00 and h15:00. All supplies to participate are provided. The meditation takes place in a quiet environment, invites you to stay in silence and provides enough space to not be bothered by other participants. All supplies to participate (meditation cushion, paper and crayon) are provided. Feel free to bring your own meditation gear. Maybe you would like to wear comfortable clothes, whatever works for you. Come as you are. Drawing experience not necessary. Special thanks to preferred partner Yogisha for sponsoring the meditation cushions!
This event will be held in English.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.
We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.
Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.
ADE is proud partner of the Celebrate Safe campaign.
