Syllabus
The process of teaching animation is dependent on the kinetic possibilities of the hand through material, the object, to the puppet. The student perceives the basic qualities of the material, its form and specific qualities. Special emphasis is placed on recognising the actor/puppet relations, on the possibility of including the actor in a non-illusive production.
