Jump into the world of animation in this immersive week-long course! Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to sharpen your foundational skills, this class will guide you through the core principles of animation.
Each session will begin with a look at inspiring animation examples, breaking down what makes movement feel dynamic and believable. From classic 2D techniques to an introduction to 3D concepts, we’ll explore how animation brings characters and stories to life.
The second half of each class will be hands-on, with guided exercises to practice fundamental animation principles like squash and stretch, timing, anticipation, and more. By the end of the week, students will have created their own short animated exercises and gained a solid understanding of how to bring movement to the screen.

Beyond the Sun is about the amazing search for exoplanets. It is a wonderful, animated program for the whole family.
We start our adventure when CELESTE is fighting off sleep by reading a book on astronomy when, through her bedroom window, she receives a visit from MOON and his mischievous helpers!
With the aid of his helpers, Moon leads Celeste on a journey through the Universe to discover what an exoplanet is and how it can be detected. Together they observe rogue planets, oceanic worlds and super-Earths. Moon tells her about exoplanet hunters and how they observe the sky in search of a planet like Earth.
This program includes a brief tour of the current night sky.
Show length ~35 min.
