The Dynamic Animator is an acting workshop designed specifically for animators. The goals of the workshop are:

  • Provide an understanding of the fundamental process an actor uses to create and play a character,
    and teach techniques for developing your character’s intent and through-line.

  • Explore advanced physical techniques that are directly usable in animation, including:

                Laban Movement Analysis

                The Michael Chekhov Technique & Psychological Gesture

                Exploring Essences

                Alba Emoting

  • Provide a toolbox that animators can use when studying or creating reference materials, including:
    The Vocabulary of Acting, Tricks of the Trade, and Keys to Unlocking a Physical Performance.

The workshop is a combination of lecture/discussion, simple physical acting exercises,
and an examination of performances on film.

The length of the workshop can be tailored to fit your organization’s needs and schedule.
