Presenting: Japan: FuturePast Performance & Poses by Cat Mars as Miku Hatsune & Kana Nagashima We'll be taking a look at Japanese Vocaloid singing sensation - Miku Hatsune, (translates as "The first Sound from the Future") has often been called a global icon or ‘hub’, because the culture around her encourages a worldwide creative community to produce and share Miku-related content - not least of all illustrations, artwork and animation. We will have our first resident artist to come and talk and perform a short 'How-to' on doing anime/manga style illustration for those who would be interested! Also digging into the past with Kana Nagashima who will perform a traditional Japanese dance and pose for us in traditional costume. Time to get those inks out! This is going to be beautiful! Tickets are £10 via http://www.madameex.com Venue: Alexanders - Rufus Court, Chester.
