Creating characters and inventing stories

  • Friday 25 November 2016 at 14:00

**David Wiesner** holds a workshop at CUBO. It starts from the study of a character to arrive from this to the development of a story. Participants are asked to bring a drawing of a creature to the workshop: no limits, human, animal, alien, robot... This is transposed into a small three-dimensional model made of plasticine, which will be photographed in various ways. Observing and redrawing the 3D model will bring out certain characteristics of the character that remain hidden on paper, on which participants will then work to build the character's background and history.
