Tickets to all events run by the Life Models’ Society, including workshops and LMS-run life drawing, are available via Humanitix. Please check there for the most up-to-date events information.
Please check Humanitix for location information including accessibility, as we use a number of venues across Melbourne for our events.
For the health and safety of all, LMS staff may request attendees wear face masks during our events.
Prospective Member Workshops
As a workers collective, we require all potential new members to complete our Prospective Member Workshop, which is a one day, ~5hr workshop involving education about professionalism, consent, health and safety, as well as observing demonstrations from professional life models, and of course participating in practical activities to experience life modelling. Attendees will also receive a handbook to take home to learn more about life modelling.
These workshops provide an introduction to the culture of the LMS, and they are suitable for people of all levels of experience, whether this is no experience, or significant experience working as life model here in Melbourne or around the world.
You can assess, in a safe space, whether working as a life model is right for you.
The participation in one of our workshops does not automatically qualify membership of the Life Models’ Society. Upon satisfactory completion, participants will be invited to join the LMS or recommended to repeat the workshop if we feel you need extra support.
This is an interactive session of up to 20 models, and it is fully participatory so please be prepared to model nude. Once you have purchased a ticket, a list of requirements to bring and instructions will be sent to you prior to the workshop.
Cost is $150 full: $110 concession
