Keep Staring: Life Drawing at the Theatre

programme

This is a life drawing session with the explicit aim of subverting the role of audience and performer. Observe to be perceived. Draw and be drawn. What narratives will emerge out of the queer gaze? In the meta spirit of interactive theatre and Terayama Shuuji, it’s time for your butts to leave the audience seat and for you to reimagine the scene.

All materials will be provided. Please note that while this session does not involve nudity, participants in this workshop should be comfortable with being observed and drawn.
