After the success of last year’s workshop, this year the mime and dancer Robert Bennett, together with the animator Elie Chapuis, are returning to Baden to continue exploring the relationship between mime, body work and animation film. Based on new simple and accessible mime and acting exercises, this workshop is a chance to rediscover new ways of considering rhythm, dynamics, interaction, weight – in short, everything that is the very essence of the animating profession. Two days offering a chance to hone your observation skills and to feel the powerful link between acting and image-by-image animation.
This workshop is also open to people who did not attend last year’s workshop.
