Booking is now open for artists for Drawing Dance workshops at URC (United Reformed Church Hall, Banbury Road, Summertown, Oxford OX2 7HN) from September 2012 through to summer 2013. We will be running sessions on the following Mondays:
17th September ’12
19th November ’12
21st January ’13
18th March ’13
3rd June ’13
We are also looking to book dancers to model for these sessions. This is a paid engagement. If you are interested and available for September or future sessions, please contact Susie:
susiecrow@gmail.com
Tel: 01865 557098
How it works: Sessions last 3 hours, 1.00-4.00pm (set-up 12.30, clear out by 4.30pm). Two professional dancers and a musician improvise while up to eight artists observe and work. Different dancers bring a wide variety of movement styles and vocabulary, so this is an interesting form of drawing to explore more than once. No tuition is given. Chairs and tables are provided, but artists are asked to bring any materials they want to use. If working in paint or ink please bring plastic sheeting to protect the dance floor from spillages.
Cost of workshop: £40 (payment required in advance to confirm your place)
To attend or for further information please contact:
