Important Information (please read):

· This is an uninstructed session, but there will be an event coordinator who will check you in, set up the pose, and keep time.

· The model will hold one pose for three hours with periodic breaks.

· Check in with the event coordinator at the third-floor Rehearsal Hall upon arrival.
