ELEPHANT PARK SESSIONS is Elephant Park’s new free virtual community festival. Join us for a jam-packed programme showcasing the best of Elephant & Castle’s thriving creative community.

SESSION: We would love to invite you to our online Dancing Couple Life Drawing session!

Posing live for us we will have professional performance artists, Gill and Michael, who dance with Three Score Dance Company and have performed at Sadlers Wells Theatre and in Brighton Festival.

Gill and Michael will do a series of slowed down performances live for us to draw from. In between the performances, the dancers will stop for 1, 2, and 5 minute poses for us to draw. We will also experiment with drawing them going between two poses for 5 minutes. The performers will be clothed for the activity.

Materials needed: Any paper you have around the house of any size and any drawing materials - pencils, coloured pencils, felt tips, oil or chalk pastels, or charcoal.

There will be an experienced Art in the Park volunteer present who can offer advice if needed and will show artist inspiration but of course feel free to draw however you want.

Art in the Park aims to involve people of all ages and abilities in designing and making art work at their studios and outdoor sites. Located in the centre of Burgess Park in South East London and run by practising artists, Art in the Park works with schools, community groups and professional teams on tailor-made educational art and heritage projects and training days. AITP also works with the public in creating permanent public artworks.

At the end of the session, we would love it if you could stay and hold up your drawings so that we can see your work. Also we would love it if you tagged us on instagram or on twitter when posting your finished artwork.

This will be a live event via Zoom - please RSVP here to receive a link to the live event. A recording of the session will be available on the Elephant Park Sessions website after the live event.
