Abstract:
AnimAction was formed in 1989 with a single purpose in mind: to create a unique and innovative environment for young people – one where they could experience the spirit of collaboration, develop new skills, and exercise freedom of expression, all with the ultimate goal of articulating a powerful message through the medium of animation. Since then, AnimAction has trained thousands of students on development and production of classical and computer animation in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe.
AnimActions’ methodology is successful because the “language” of animation is universal, and it transcends cultural barriers. AnimAction has worked with children in programs at: The World Animation Celebration USA, COMICON International, 3rd World Summit on Media for Children (Greece), International Ottawa Animation Festival, The Chicago International Children’s Film Festival, UNCEF, The Los Angeles Unified School District, LA’s BEST After School Enrichment Program, LA Children’s Hospital, New York School Board, The Office of Criminal Justice Planning USA, YWCA, YMCA, The Gene Autry Museum, The Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, The Solicitor General of Canada, The Teachers Advisory Council on Alcohol and Drug Education (TACADE) (UK), and The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation (UK).
