The Animation Variety Hour is an evolution of the animation summit experience, mixing the craft and culture of interactive animation with an intentional spray of artisanal whimsy. Brought to you by a barrage of your industry peers, attendees are presented with insights and ideas meant to inform, inspire and inflict psychic damage in an effort to heal your soul. Maybe. How much you like or dislike any of this hour will be up to you. But one thing for sure is that you will have experienced ART. Do you dare to engage with an hour of such variety?
Attendees will walk away having learned practical tips about the different crafts that are part of animation and some insights about other crafts as well. They will also experience the personal and shared concerns about our place within the industry, the world and how that intersects with our desire to be creative with the crafts we have dedicated ourselves to performing.
The intended audience is for anyone that is part of, related to or interested in any aspect of animation or interactive character performances.
