Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School presents Time Travel!

Chimera Theatre's Hydra Performing Arts Festival 2026

Show Description:

Grab your pencils, set your time machines, and prepare for debauchery! Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School brings performance art and life drawing together in a glorious mix of burlesque, booze, and creative chaos.

For Hydra Fest, we're travelling through the decades with three original productions celebrating the 1930s, 1960s, and 1990s. Each show features a unique cast, live burlesque, life drawing, drawing contests, and raunchy interview games. Whether you're an accomplished artist or barely know which end of the pencil to hold, come for the spectacle and stay for the debauchery!

Length: 45 mins

Audience Rating: 19+

Artist Bio:

Since May 2016, Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School - Kamloops Branch has been bringing performance art and visual art together in a gloriously unconventional celebration of creativity, chaos, and debauchery. 

Forget the quiet classrooms, serious faces, and stuffy rules of traditional life drawing. Here, burlesque performers take the stage while artists of all skill levels sketch, sip, socialize, and embrace the wonderfully messy business of making art. Loud, playful, a little dirty, and decidedly unpretentious, Dr. Sketchy’s is a space where creativity thrives and everyone is invited to pick up a pencil and join the fun!
