What is stop motion animation?

In preparation for our workshop on March 30th, here's a little video created by animator @joshleach.co.uk is giving us an example of what stop motion animation is.

🐶 Wallace and Gromit, Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas are all solid examples of what stop motion is.

🎥 It is a filmmaking technique that creates the illusion of movement by photographingcharacters or objects, moving them very slightly, then taking another picture - building a moving picture, one frame at a time. Stop motion is a visually striking, memorable and unique technique to play around with animation.

On March 30th Josh will be teaching a group of us how to create a stop motion animation! Sign up via the link in our bio.

We're curious... What is your favourite stop motion character?

Artist Spotlight - BoonDog Theatre 26.03.26 1:30-4pm

Hear from BoonDog Theatre themselves about what’s happening at our next Explore workshop.

🎭️ BoonDog Theatre was created in 2012. Their vision was to tell stories that start conversations that last long beyond the audience leaving the theatre.

🗺️ They typically focus their productions on social issues, backed by immaculately researched detail. Their work is covertly political: they comment on modern society hidden in the (perhaps somewhat more comfortable) fictional past.

They also run “Fringe Festival Support”, a chatshow supported by the Mental Health Foundation, interviewing Fringe performers and workers about their experiences.

🤸 Their upcoming workshop is ideal for performers and those interested in how to make a living from theatre.

Drop in to the Daimler Powerhouse between 10am – 1pm for this free event over the weekend and help make large lantern versions of iconic Coventry buildings.

These lanterns will be presented in a celebration marking the Spring Equinox on the evening of Friday 20 March.

'Where We Belong' is a participatory art project designed to bring Coventry’s diverse communities together to co-create an illuminated installation on Coventry Canal. The project uses simple, sustainable materials – paper, willow, bamboo, and personal stories – to build handmade lanterns representing places of home, belonging, and identity.

Accompanied by an immersive soundscape of music, poetry, and recorded personal stories from participants, the event will celebrate light, renewal, and community connection in a city proud of its heritage of sanctuary, reconciliation, and peacebuilding.
