Burlesque Life Drawing

  • Workshop
  • Activity

Burlesque life drawing is a drawing session about the joy of costume, character individuality and story of burlesque and all the bohemian arts of sideshow, cabaret, circus and drag.

This small class caters to everyone and they love having lost drawers re-engaging their creative side and new drawers exploring life drawing for the first time.

Stunning burlesque and sideshow performances, plus many arty poses will inspire your draw. Pencils and paper are provided. This is where art happens.
