Forkbeard: Summer Schools 2010
Friday 2nd - Friday 9th July
Friday 16th - Friday 23rd July
Forkbeard Fantasy, the celebrated Theatre, Film & Animation Company, are offering two six-day residential courses in 2010. These Summer Schools give you the chance to discover new ways of working in an inclusive, stimulating environment. The Schools are located at Forkbeard’s Waterslade Studios in the heart of rural Devon. Set in two acres of countryside, Waterslade comprises: a modern complex equipped for set and prop construction, film and video edit suites and space for performance teaching.
The week-long courses enable participants to explore the wild and diverse array of techniques, technologies and art forms used in Forkbeard’s multi-media stage, film and exhibition work:
• Film and Video, 16mm and DVD, lighting and camera skills, Final Cut Pro, compositing, editing, projection systems and surfaces
• Animation in all its myriad 2D and 3D forms, including pixilation and blue-screen mixes
• At all times there’s a lively emphasis on demystifying technology and making it work for you the artist
• Prop-making, casting, constructing, modelling, mechanics, puppetry with numerous materials and fabrics
• Sound recording, mixing and its place in other artforms
• Performing with and in and out of film, in installations and extreme situations as well as FF’s trademark Crossing the Celluloid Divide
• Working with others or on your own … developing unexpected cross-over’s and hybrids of art forms, with concentration on experimentation, entertainment and humour
We encourage a wide mix of interests and skills. Previous Schools have included: prop-makers, designers, visual and performance artists, filmmakers, editors, animators, performers, engineers, technicians, students, teachers, architects, writers, and puppeteers. The only requirement is that applicants must be over 18.
“I found the Forkbeard team incredibly generous in sharing ideas and techniques”
“….the atmosphere and FF’s supportive teaching methods combine to make you feel like trying anything. Nothing seems out of reach”
“The encouragement, enthusiasm and hospitality we received through the week was fantastic… an incredibly stimulating working environment, beautiful setting and delicious food”
There are 20 places available on each course. The £750 fee includes all meals - a local chef’s delicious lunches and suppers with fresh garden produce - and accommodation at the beautiful riverside Manor Mill Cottages in Waterrow, a couple of miles from Forkbeard's Studios.
