Animators are storytellers, and through various themed classes and workshops the skills of great storytelling and the development of acting & character movement performance choices can be explored and discovered.

If you are an animator looking to lean into that incredible story telling aspect and deepen and develop your craft, then I would love to work with you. Whether that be supporting you as part of our troupe or 121 with bespoke movement coaching, get in touch to explore how we can work together.
