The University for the Creative Arts, Farnham (Surrey) is holding a Creative Residency with a series of workshops in the Animation Archives from the 22nd September -26th September.
UCA's animation archives holds over 400 boxes of artwork, acetate cels, storyboards, and scripts from animators including Oscar winning Bob Godfrey, and Tandem Films, with Flatworld (2D figures in a 3D world). Further information on our collections can be found on our website athttp://community.ucreative.ac.uk/archives, alongside our case studies on how archives have been used and developed in learning & teaching at UCA http://community.ucreative.ac.uk/article/43025/Case-Studies-in-Learning-%26-Teaching
The residency is to be led by Sonia Friel, who is currently completing an AHRC-funded PhD at Norwich University of the Arts that explores representations of the fragmented body in the work of Jan Švankmajer and the Quay brothers. This doctoral research considers a diverse range of material created by these artist-animators, from their most famous animations to virtually undocumented drawings, sculptures, games and ephemera. Her research has benefited considerably from close contact with the contemporary Czech and Slovak surrealist group and with the producer Keith Griffiths and Sonia has recently completed a chapter on Griffiths for a forthcoming edited collection on the role of the producer within film and media.
Workshops include 'Surrealist Games' where a series of games will be produced from the archive, and Wunderkammer, where the archive will be investigated to build a collection of texts and images
Workshops are free, but booking is a necessity due to limited space. Please note Tuesday 23rd has priority for Creative Writing students at UCA. Further information can be found in our poster
