Ever at the ready to challenge the prudish, prurient, wowser types and their notions that nudity is inherently associated with sexuality and is to be abhorred in all situations except, or even including, the marital boudoir, Smith’s presents Unclothed People Doing Things.

Our MC, the very tall and multi-talented Michael Fairlamb, will be guiding us through the following unclothed entertainments:

The Standard Deviants, a bass and guitar duo, will be singing some of their original folk punk style pop songs.

Jarrah Hoey. You may recognise him as a Smith’s regular, oft with pad and pen, sketching the performers and/or audience members, clothed or not clothed, whether they be unclothed or, actually, clothed. He has also been a busking trombonist around town. He’s appeared at numerous Unclothed’s and once again he’ll be playing the trombone, ‘boning’ as it were. 

Cuddlefish are shy creatures with flesh that can change colour to express their emotions. They’re rarely seen in public, mostly preferring to share their incendiary gifts amongst fellow fiends in debaucherous after-parties or random moments of leisure time. Catch them this one night, fully exposed, their tendrils quivering, with nothing between them and you but the water we breathe.

Josie, Smith’s Dancer Laureate, will be interpreting such acts as she pleases through the medium of dance.

Lumiel will be illuminating some poems and a childrens’ book.

Dorota, a philosopher and academic, will be musing upon Tarot card archetypes.

Having fled the circles of power in the National Capital for the soothing grids and trams of Melbourne, Andrew has returned to bring poems about love, loss, and the sort of loneliness you only get to feel in a city of four million, 500 miles away from home.

Kitty White, one of Unclothed’s most regular performers, will be reading bad poetry adn maybe more.
