Learn to capture the art of movement at Bristol's tutored live-motion drawing workshop. Guided by movement artist, Sachin Babbar, the sessions cover fundamental techniques such as gesture drawing, form and dynamic composition to help you translate the energy and vitality of dance onto paper.

An array of local talented dancers from varied disciplines (Contact Improvisation, Contemporary, Ballet etc.) will feature as the subject of this series of workshops. They will act out still poses and dance sequences specially curated to introduce you to this art form.
