How it works

Find a seat. Study and draw the dancers who alternately move and stand still in various long positions. You do the drawing yourself, for those of you who are beginners, we share tips and tricks to get you started. Everyone is welcome, regardless of previous croquis experience. You draw independently without instructions.

Material

Bring your own material. We recommend pencils, colored pencils, crayons. No wet paint, erasers or pencil sharpeners may be brought into the exhibition halls. Bring enough material for 2 x 45 minute sessions. It is good to have a mat or sturdy drawing pad as the seats are without a table. If you prefer a digital drawing board, please bring that.

What is croquis?

Croquis is a classic way to practice drawing and seeing, almost like an artistic workout. The word comes from French and means “sketch”. It is characterized by quick sketches of live model and exercises the ability to see form, volume, proportion and balance. Dance adds pace, pulse and movement.

Good to know

No previous experience required.
