Easter Camps
In this introductory workshop, children will learn the basics of coding by writing interactive stories inspired by the imaginative worlds and style of film director Wes Anderson, and turning those stories into simple text‑based video games using the Twine coding engine.
Inspired by the fascinating stop motion films of director Wes Anderson, children will create characters, shape clay models, and animate their own stories.
Inspired by Wes Anderson’s stylised approach to scenery, young people will explore drawing, collage, and miniature model‑making as they learn how to bring stories from the page to the stage in this introduction to set design for theatre and performance.
This hands-on workshop for young people introduces the meticulous world of film director Wes Anderson through stop-motion animation, using clay to design puppets, build sets, and create original stories.
