Immersive Animation workshops for Autistic people on 14th and 15th November 2023. 18-35 Young Adults
We are starting a new FREE course for young autistic adults who need a boost into the industry.
Course outline: Are you passionate about animation?
Are you an autistic young adult finding it difficult to get into the industry?
Do you want to meet the fantastic teams of FlyCheese and Aardman Studios?
This course is for you – read information and apply below!
During our FREE 2-day workshop on 14th and 15th November 2023, participants will engage in activities with armatures, puppets and animation. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet industry professionals and present their portfolios.
There aren’t enough courses designed for autistic people, we decided to change that!
Is this course for you?
This course is ideal for young adults aged between 18 and 35 years old who are autistic and have a passion for animation. You do need to have some experience to attend this workshop, even if your experience is from self-teaching as there will be networking and portfolio sharing opportunities.
We want to open doors to people who might not have had such opportunities.
The course is led by industry professionals from Aardman and Flycheese.
We aim to make the workshop as tailored as possible to the participants’ needs, to create the most encouraging, safe, comfortable, and nurturing place to learn, focus and enjoy.
Logistics:
The course takes place in person at Aardman – Gas Ferry Road, Bristol.
Hours are 9.45am-5pm with a lunchbreak at 12.30 and various comforts breaks throughout the day.
An accessibility handbook is available.
Each participant will get 1-1 (online) time before the start of the course to discuss needs and desired outcomes, with Pauline Mallam (EDI Manager).
