• Collaborative drawing

• Central Courtyard

• 5-9pm

With the shadow play of the evening as stimulus, take up a pen and contribute to a collaborative drawing with artist facilitators Melinda Hunt and Aaron McGarry. Greek myth has it that representation began with the tracing of a sleeping lover's shadow on a candlelit wall, and our projected light will cast a panoply of still and moving forms into a night-long drawing.

• Panel discussion

• Cell Block Theatre

• 6.30-7.45pm

Drawing is direct action; a form of release. It enables us to transmit ideas and feelings, to escape the dictates of written language and dive into a process of visual discovery. Our panel of artists, Luke Thurgate, Skye Wagner, Aude Parichot, will reflect on their experiences of the many processes by which drawings evolve - the rapid and the gradual, the rough and the refined - and will share their delight in the act of drawing.

• Plutonic Lab feat. Natalie Slade

• DIOLA DJ

• 8.15-10.00pm
