Blaize Community Arts - Stop-Frame Animation Workshops

1.

Blaize Community Arts ran a stop frame animation worshop last summer at Byron Primary School Bradford.

The pupils were at a transition phase, moving from primary to secondary school.

They were given the idea that they were going to make an animation about their hopes and fears about moving to secondary school, and Blaize facillitated the process of them choosing the theme which turned out to be bullying.

Blaize made DVD's as the final products.

2a.

Explore everything that Blaize has said about this project, conduct some research by calling appropriate people and having conversations with them. Teachers, School-based counsellors, Artists, (Liz Lempan who makes puppets and worked on the project before would be a good start.) Maybe ask a group of 10 / 11 year olds what they would think of the proposed project and how we could make it better.

2b.

Blaize want to promote this project using digital media to explore and develop an interest.
Research on how this can be done by talking to people who do it already - Jack Drum Arts are good with digital media.

2c.


Blaize now want to run the project on a regular basis which schools as a starting point.
The possibility of taking family life as a theme, possibly forming a link with family therapy.
Then working with in house consellors if they are available.
Working with Evan Sanders who worked on the project last time.
Blaize will explore funding possibilities and a pricing structure for the project.
