[ecrea] CFP The Crafty Animator

Mon May 22 13:51:27 GMT 2017




*Call for Papers*

*/The Crafty Animator: /*

*/A Conference on Handmade and Craft-based Animation/*

*Proposals are invited for an interdisciplinary one-day conference at Rich Mix Cinema, Shoreditch, London, on Thursday 7^th September 2017*

Animation is famously diverse, incorporating as it does a range of production methods, techniques and practices. This one-day conference focuses on any technique that could be considered to be handmade or craft-based, from cut outs to models and puppets, from sand-on-glass to ink-on-glass, and beyond. The role of the animator is key to such techniques where we can often see her/his imprints or finger marks etc. or even hands in the animation; the ‘presence of the artist’ is often highly visible in such craft-based practices and is a presence this conference seeks to explore from numerous perspectives. The conference aims to consider: the kinds of animation techniques that might fall into the category of the handmade; the ways that handmade and craft-based animation might be framed as gendered practices, or not; the kinds of cultural value that handmade and craft-based might animation carry. A range of disciplinary approaches is encouraged and the conference aims to include papers from practitioners, practitioner/scholars and scholars.

I am delighted to confirm Dr Birgitta Hosea, Head of Animation at the RCA, as our Keynote Speaker.

Possible approaches include but are not limited to:

Historical examples of handmade animation

Contemporary practices

Gender politics and production practices

Audience engagement

Spectacle and visual effects

Space and place

Production cultures

Narrative and storytelling

Children’s television animation

Digitising the handmade

The cultural value of craft-based/handmade animation

Craft-based practices and the community

The ‘presence of the artist’

Craft-based/handmade animation and advertising

The conference will be held at the Rich Mix Cinema in Shoreditch, London on Thursday 7 September 2017. Please send abstracts of 300 words plus 100-word bio *by Friday 23 June 2017* to:
