STOP MOTION ANIMATION: THE NUTCRACKER | Workshop for students of 4th, 5th & 6th grade

This Christmas, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center Membership Program and the  Educational and Social Activities of the Greek National Opera have ensured exclusive admissions (limited number of places) for the younger and teenager Members of the SNFCC Membership Program, in selected educational projects of GNO. Discover the magic of classical dance and animation, prompted by the “The Nutcracker” show, through two educational workshops.

During this experiential animation workshop, and with the help of Erling Erickson’s animation box and some easy tools and applications, students will tell us a short story in two or maybe three dimensions, just by using simple techniques (cut out animation, claymation, two-dimensional painting).

Inspired by The Nutcracker Ballet, participants will create a small stop motion animation under the guidance of the Olympia International Film Festival for Children & Youth team.

Workshop timing: 10:00 – 13:00

Age: 4th, 5th & 6th grade students

Registration for the SNFCC Members until 15/12 at 12.00 (limited number of places)

* The participation concerns the whole cycle of the workshop.
