"One of the great things about living in Manchester is that you turn any corner and you’ll stumble upon an evening of art, theatre or music. But what about a night that combines all three? My visit to Dr. Sketchy Manchester on a dark November evening was that rare triptych of entertainment: life drawing and burlesque, set to a punk/alt-pop soundtrack. Organised by local artist Lee Crocker, Doctor Sketchy is the Manchester branch of a self-styled “Anti-Art School” founded in Brooklyn in 2005. The idea rapidly spread to 100 cities across the world, its aim simple (and apparently universally appreciated): to make life drawing fun again by taking it out of the classroom and by replacing traditional life models with burlesque performers."
