SUMMARY:Kings for Life (Drawing) Class
DESCRIPTION:A Drag King/Thing Life Drawing Workshop for artists to experience drag in a new way and drag artists to gain a new skill in life modelling.\n\n\nJoin us for an exciting life drawing workshop dedicated to providing a platform for Drag Kings/Things to model and offering artists a unique experience in capturing the essence of drag through art. \nOur inclusive sessions cater to all skill levels\, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned artist like the next David Hockney! Each pose is timed\, and we may suggest different drawing techniques to inspire and warm up your artistic flow. \nWhat You’ll Need: \n\nDrawing Surface: Get creative—paper\, an iPad\, or cardboard boxes!\nDrawing Materials: Anything goes—pencils\, charcoal\, pastels\, or paints. It’s a perfect opportunity to experiment and try something new!\n\nPose breakdown will be 4 x 5 minutes\, 2 x 10 minutes\, 3 x 15 minutes\, and 1 x 20 minutes (as time allows). \nCome along\, settle in and drawing starts just after 5.30pm. \nPlease bring your own materials (Although we generally have a few pads and pencils on hand in case!). All skill levels\, genders and orientations are welcome. \nImportant: Recording of the session is not permitted. \nAs with all our sessions\, Nudity is not part of this workshop. It is up to the model’s comfort level when posing how much or little clothing they will wear and being mindful of other patrons in the space\, as it will not be private. \nOur main priority is to create a safe environment for the talent. \nThat said\, sometimes sessions do veer towards the erotic/kink based on the model. We ask that you respect the model’s privacy by NOT taking any photos or recordings during the session. \nTicket sales contribute to paying our models\, covering hire fees\, and ensuring we can continue providing these fantastic sessions! \nFollow us on Instagram for more updates and to build a vibrant\, creative community together! \nAbout the facilitator: \nMatt David (they/them) is a queer artist and founder of Kings for Life (Drawing). \nKings for Life (Drawing) is a workshop allowing artists to experience drag in a few ways and be able to draw new and exciting subjects\, as well as drag kings/things to gain new skills in life modelling and gain work outside of just the nightlife scene. \nThey have facilitated multiple creative workshops\, including Self Portrait workshops for Positive East\, alongside making their own artwork with a focus on portraiture and life drawing. \nAccessibility: \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid-19 and mpox safety: \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 and/or mpox symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough\, chills and unusual spots\, scabs or ulcers. \nMasks and hand sanitiser are available free of charge. \nFor current information on Covid and mpox please visit the NHS website. \nDonate to the CentreWe rely on donations to ensure that the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre can keep its doors open for years to come. \nTo donate or become a Friend of the Centre\, visit our website.

She’s a self-taught baker and most of this has come through research\, travel\, seeing new cultures and foods\, all of which have inspired her to push myself further.  \nIt has been a journey of trial and error\, as well as learning about herself and her culture and using those experiences to make my food taste better. \nYamina wants to inspire people to cook more and waste less.

SUMMARY:Helix Hunt: a genetic bingo
DESCRIPTION:Join TAKDAJA’s Helix Hunt: a genetic-themed bingo game\,  perfect for connecting with others  while learning something new!\n\n\nAs you mark off your bingo cards\, you’ll uncover exciting facts about genetics\, the history embedded in our DNA\, and the shared humanity that connects us all. Whether you’re a genetics enthusiast or just love a good game\, this event promises to be both informative and entertaining. \nJoin TAKDAJA’s Helix Hunt where science meets socialising\, with prizes\, laughs\, and a few surprises along the way. This is more than just a game – it’s an opportunity to connect with others in our community while learning about the incredible science that makes us who we are. \nAbout the facilitator: \nTAKDAJA is an alternative\, interdisciplinary theatre company based in the U.K. creating dynamic and visual productions that challenge traditional narratives. Their past work has been described by Cindy Marcolina of Broadway World U.K. as “Brazen experimentalism leans into performance art and blurs the lines of form and style with a non-narrative approach. They challenge the status quo chest first\, testing the limits and the very concept of a play to introduce ideas like naked existentialism\, romantic disillusionment\, unilateral desire\, gender expectations\, cultural demands\, and the juxtaposition of perception and reality”. \nIG/Twitter @takdaja \nAccessibility: \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid and mpox safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre: \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 and/or mpox symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough\, chills and unusual spots\, scabs or ulcers. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.
