About the Course

In this workshop, participants are invited to experiment with their ideas of storytelling.

Using non-linear narratives, abstract imagery, rhythm, atmosphere and other devices, we will play with creating stories for animation that step outside of the traditional structure.

This two part course will include hands-on storytelling exercises, and participants will be given the knowledge to tell their own stories through an abstract lens.
