This IS FILM - Monday life modeling at S. Pauls Church

Monday evenings I regularly model at St. Paul Church ST. N. for a life drawing evening class for local artist. Its a very unique class and a very unique place. The master teacher J. is also very unique (in a good way of course) -  he is really a interesting character: indian britush (presumably) and ULTRA polite, even his voice tone is so polite you may think its a bit strange.

But these are always very nice, classes, the place feels like a home -  even if it is inside a very old, decrypting church. I notice lately (on the places I have worked), many old churches being converted into art factories -  finally a positive use for churches.

One thing you cannot fail to notice is the fact that the artist (fully grown adults) are forced to be squeezed in inside little children school tables and chair, given a drawing board - and there you go: drawn pls.

(I always have to make a effort to keep serious and not laugh while posing, when I see all these really BIG adult English people squeezed inside the children's school tables).

After, I desperately RUN to the Tango pratica until 23.00 -  and finally between 12.00 and 1.00 am my Monday day finishes.

Heres a short story of one of those evenings:

we could hear them inside the class,when they start to sing/scream : OH MY GOD (!)
( I had to laugh, how appropriate)

I love this place - so funny
the adult artist are forced to sit on the children desks and draw
(but I feel very at home - everything is my side - brilliant (!))
