A female performer in an orange-pink top and shorts climbs a tall wooden pole on a blue padded mat, one leg raised and arms gripping the pole, in a pole-climbing demonstration. A man in a navy tracksuit with orange and white graphics stands at the base watching her. Behind them a large audience sits, including several bare-chested men wearing beaded necklaces, and rows of colourful hanging pennant flags decorate the hall. A camera on a stand sits at the back. No a person candidate is visibly identifiable.
