Flowing Figures

Join us for an immersive experience combining live dance and life-drawing

We’re partnering with Voirelia Hub to offer a unique experience blending life drawing and dance together. The event will begin with a warm welcome and brief introduction by the main organisers, Gabi and Alina. Guests will be invited to participate in a 5 minute movement exercise designed to help you feel movement in a tangible way before illustrating. 10-15 minute drawing exercises will follow, helping you put image to paper.

The life drawing session will last approximately 80 minutes, during which you will have the opportunity to observe and sketch the dancers as they move and perform. The session will consist of three 20-minute sections, each offering different dynamics of movement and posing.

About Draw Around Vancouver

Drawing is a great way to make new friends, relax and get creative, so come draw with us!
