Life drawing class for artists of all genders, backgrounds and levels of ability, 18+. Draw strippers and sex workers as they perform their usual club routines, in a different context; from the strip club to the art gallery.

Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
