About this Event
'Burlesque! With Shard O’Nay'
Enter Black History Month by celebrating black artistry and narrative storytelling through the medium of Burlesque!
Burlesque is a unique performance art which teases and titilates the audience with dazzlingly ostentatious costumes and a playful wink. Where life drawing relies on the artist as the silent observer, what happens when our model begins to playfully interact with us and what creativity can they tease out of us from a performance which is as much about what you don't show as what you do?
Take a step behind the velvet curtain, as you've got a front row seat to a performance like no other.
Early Masterworks welcomes anyone who wants to give life drawing a go, in a fun and relaxed environment. This session is accessible for all artistic levels.
