CANCELLED - Blank Canvas

Circus • Cabaret
South Australia • World Premiere

'Blank Canvas' is an art class with attitude! You're invited to get sketchy and make some art with the best circus, dance, drag and burlesque performers the Fringe has to offer from around Australia and around the world! You bring your sketchpad and pencils (or any other media you like!), and our incredible performers will offer scintillating acts to amaze and delight, as well as life-drawing style poses just itching to be sketched. Sit back and watch the show, or put pencil to paper….or both! The choice is yours!
