Based upon a lifelong love of cartoon characters and utilizing games, exercises and discussions, the goal of the workshop is to help participants discover how to better animate the choices they make in their theatrical roles. The work will at times be somewhat strenuous, so everyone should wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to move. Prior to class, participants are asked to choose a favorite cartoon character and be prepared to discuss their choice with the group.
