 10 minute portrait of Xin by A Howse |
Walter deForest gave a superb performance as Van Gogh and brought the Dutch master's life and his work to life through telling his story. Participants were encouraged to draw their audience neighbours and this is a portrait in pen of a gentleman we just met called Xin. As these were the first portraits we have done for some time we were pleased when Xin wanted to take it home to enjoy with his family who were also enjoying the cultural occassion. |

Everyone drew sunflowers throughout the evening of course! It was great to experience such a high qulity inclusive accessible arts production in an inner city area which is currently going through a lot of change and regeneration. This community arts center is the home of Draper Together which is a charity that aims to forge a strong and positive community through its inclusive programme which focuses on youth arts and theatre. |
