Create Your Anime Series with Aree Witolear

on Wednesday from 13:30' - 16:00'

 

About the workshop:


Japanese Anime has a special place in my heart. Growing up in Asia, our childhood is filled with anime. Not just about robots and pokemon, but about our hobbies like tennis (Prince of Tennis) and board game Go (Hikaru No Go). That's the best thing about anime: there's no limit. Any hobby you’re passionate about can be turned into an anime series! Many elements in anime are very much improv: big over-the-top reactions, dramatic action sequences, harmonic group reactions, heightened tension, status play, to being a little kawaii (cute!). We’ll learn things about improv from anime in this workshop. Then, we’ll create our own anime series! Let’s improvise an anime Heroes journey as our protagonist learns poker/frisbee/Jenga to become a champion, facing one baddie to the next, and learning hard life lessons along the way.
