Dr Sketchy's is the Art Class your mum doesn't want you going to!
Life Modelling by stunning Burlesque queens and circus performers. The most beautiful and bizarre come out for the purpose of furthering your art work.

This February at the Bakery we are lucky to have Kimtortion and Jaan modelling for us!

Kimtortion, an extremely flexible young starlet ran away to the circus and met Jaan, a German backpacker with an uncanny ability to juggle anything and everything! The two performers fell in love almost instantly and wowed audiences with talents the likes of which people had never seen before! Their fantastic career seemed to be cut short when one day Kimtortion fell from a great height whilst rigging for aerial performances. Sadly Kim had lost the use of her legs but Jaan picked her up and carried her like a princess from show to show! They now perform the legendary Ragdoll act where Kimtortion's exquisite flexibility and upper body strength shines through. A Truly amazing performance team!


Our slightly over hyperactive and insane German Scientist Dr Barry Umenema will be back to host us through the evening. He'll drag you giggling and screaming through his bizarre games and throw lollies at you whenever he damn feels like it.

Easels are welcome up the back and remember to bring drop sheets if you are doing some flamboyant ink or paintwork. As always the bar is fully stocked to help loosen that creative mind of yours!

With Squiggles from the Dr Sketchy Crew

Glam. Glitter. Big hair. Tacky, pretty shiny things.

We're going all things musically glamorous and shiny for Pop Quiz 4, which means everything from Bowie to Lou Reed to Slade to Liza Minelli to Poison to Kiss to Marilyn Manson right through to pretty much all the records you found in your Dad's record collection that he would pretend to be embarrassed by until you noticed how worn the grooves were. Glam rock. Glitter rock. Hair rock. Goth rock. Shock rock. Other forms of music covered in sparkles. It's going to be rad.

There'll be special guests to be announced and all the usual quiztastic madness in a fast moving hyperquiz of ludicrous megaspeed. And no classical music round this time or ever again. Just lashings of quizzy fun with your maniacal host Tomás Ford.

Entry is $10 per head and bookings are super limited (& have already started coming in) - to book pleae email popquiz@tomasford.com with your name, phone number and which of the following size tables you would like. No deposit is required but not turning up without notice will mean it will suck for you in the future if you try to book a table as this generally books out.

As a side note, as it's the glitter and glam edition, best glam rock costume on the night gets a prize. No responsibility will be taken for any violence that occurs on the way to/from Ya Ya's as a result of said costume.

AVALIABLE TABLE TYPES:
Booths for six or seven people.
Corner booths for three each (or four if you want to get cosy)

George Lucas, some love him, some hate him.

From Rotten Tomatoes.com:

The passion the original Star Wars trilogy inspires in its fans is unparalleled; but when it comes to George Lucas himself-one of the most passionately debated filmmakers of all time-many have found their ardor has cooled into a complicated love-hate relationship. This hilarious, heartfelt documentary delves deep into Lucas's cultural legacy, asking all the tough questions.

Black Swan State Theatre Company presents

The White Divers of Broome
By Hilary Bell

28 January - 16 February 2012

World Premiere!

In the boom times of 1912 Broome, Sydney Pigott is a wealthy pearling master looking for a way around the White Australia Policy, anxious to keep his cheap Asian workers – and his high profits.

Webber, Sanders and Beasily are the cream of the British Navy deep sea divers. Hired by Pigott, they arrive in Broome naïvely convinced they’ll prove their skills when they hit the hazardous seas and collect the precious mother-of-pearl. But desperate Asian crews, shadowy alliances and the ruthless environment of Broome are against the white divers from the beginning.

From the brothels to the ballrooms to the deep seas, it’s a cutthroat world and trust is hard to find.

Inspired by the book of the same name by John Bailey, The White Divers of Broome is a celebration of boom time Broome and its exotic clash of cultures. Be captivated by a stirring account of greed, betrayal, loyalty and survival that resonates through the years.

“Hilary Bell will sweep you along in this epic and heartbreaking story, and take you back to a time when the racial and class relations in the exotic frontier town of Broome were watched by the entire country.” Kate Cherry

Venue: Heath Ledger Theatre, State Theatre Centre of WA
Director: Kate Cherry
Featuring: Caitlin Beresford-Ord, Kylie Farmer [Kaarljilba Kaardn], Michelle Fornasier, Stuart Halusz, Sean Hawkins, Yutaka Izumihara, Miyuki Lotz, Greg McNeill, Kenneth Moraleda, Jo Morris, Tom O’Sullivan, Ian Toyne

2012 marks a decade of the Tom Malone Prize. This acquisitive award for Australian glass artists has been the platform for the Gallery to collect some of the best work being made in the country today. The combined exhibitions feature work by 2012’s shortlisted makers, all past winners and a selection of glass works from the State Art Collection. Works have been selected to bring to view objects which have been recently purchased, and those works that precede and parallel the works of the Tom Malone Prize acquisitions. The display broadens viewers’ understanding about what is happening in the glass world and what is possible in the medium of glass.
