Garrett Centre, London, 28 August 2024
This booking made in February 2024 was meant to be in Fitzrovia Community Centre on 15 August. With 2 weeks to go, however, we had to relocate as the Centre ceased being a venue for Adrian Dutton’s groups. I was sorry it came and went before I got my chance to add it to the list of 11 venues where I’ve previously worked with Adrian, but out of sorrow some good emerged – a return to the Garrett Centre instead.

We began with a 5-minute standing pose then went quicker with two of 1 minute, two of 2 minutes, then lengthened to 5, 10, and 15 minutes. The final pose of our first half ought to have been 20 minutes but probably stopped after 17 minutes at eight o’clock sharp so we could partake of piping hot complimentary food. Adrian is still the best at feeding his artists and models!

Stuffed with dhal, flatbread, biscuits and tea, I resumed after the interval as if nothing had occurred and I was still as svelte as I’d been at the start. Second half pose times were one 10-minute pose, two of 1 minute, two 2 minutes and one 20-minute pose to finish. This wasn’t the busiest evening at the Garrett Centre, but the feeling round the room was warm, and the artworks were wonderful. A happy rescheduling.
