Get ready for an exhilarating Masterclass led by Barry JC Purves, a virtuosic animator!

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth." – Oscar Wilde.

Barry will show how this "mask", this obvious device, liberates us and is an essential part of our creative expression, whether it be dance, song, acting or animation, and that the awareness of the techniques and constructs involved heighten our appreciation. Barry will argue that the literal has little place in what we do and that we should celebrate this artifice.

Suitable for both experienced professionals and for those wondering what this artifice, and especially animation is all about! Expect thought provoking questions to be raised, with constructive answers.
