Emma will paint a select few of the Cabaret artists to reveal their Cabaret personae through wild and wonderful body art, drawing out their characters and then painting them back on. As the Festival progresses, the Kool Kat Club will host an exhibition of the resulting life-size photographs, which will be available for purchase.
