Hello everyone!
A reminder about the Cartoon Science Workshop which is being held at Kew
Gardens 23-24 April 2004.
Have you ever wanted to have a go at writing a show from scratch or try your
hand at building props?
Do you feel you need some experience of doing a risk assessment for a show,
or have you been keen to use cartoons in a show for ages, but been
frustrated by copyright rules?
Then the BIG Cartoon Science Workshop is for you!
Following on from the Cartoon Science Brainstorm at last year's BIG event,
BIG is running a cartoon science show workshop at the Education Centre in
Kew Gardens. BIG has commissioned young animator, Adam Syrop, to create a
set of animations to illustrate the Cartoon Science Laws drawn up at the
brainstorm. These will be used to form the basis of a brand new science
show, created in just two days and culminating in a performance at Kew
Gardens.
The workshop will be very practical with plenty of chances for people to try
their hands at something new or to swap ides with other people. The
programme includes prop building, risk assessment, writing media releases,
producing evaluation forms, making links to the National Curriculum and
performing.
There will be experienced people on hand to help with all aspects of the
workshop and a range of the audio visual and prop building equipment will be
available for use by participants.
The workshop lasts two full days and costs £100 for BIG members (non members
are welcome, you just have to join first!). The fee includes a complete
resource pack from the course and permission to use animations in their own
shows. BIG members may also attend the performance on the afternoon of
Saturday 24 April for no extra cost besides the entry fee for Kew Gardens.
Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
