Location on this date: Keeley Street
Tutors: Lily MarkiewiczLearn about the structure and function of narrative, and find out how it relates to your creative practice. In this workshop we will consider film, animation, moving image or other time-based practices, primarily, in which there is a clear and accessible connection to the unfolding of meaning over a linear (or non-linear) sequence, but we may also discuss examples across potentially any creative discipline, and other forms of expression. We will look at principles of narrative and narrative structures in film, the ‘conventions’ of storytelling across a range of examples, and how these have been used or subverted within the form. Storytelling is fundamental to human civilisation: across all cultures, narrative plays a central role in our understanding of our place in the world, and addressing profound questions about our existence. Children learn through stories; cultures cohere through shared narratives. We will consider the role of narrative as a fundamentally important pillar in underpinning societies, belief systems, and values, and why an awareness of these relationships is increasingly important in these ‘unprecedented’ times.Full fee £69.00 Senior fee £69.00 Concession £69.00 - Art and creative thinking with Rod JudkinsCourse start date: Sun 12 May 2024 (and 4 other dates)

This research was the basis for his important and influential book Amateur Craft (Bloomsbury, 2015), and he has also produced a number of other significant research outputs including chapters, papers, co-edited volumes and curation. In 2022 he co-curated the Craft Study Centre’s Presence and Absence, an exhibition that sought to decolonise narratives of studio craft and highlight absences in the Centre’s collections.
