Ok; I need a time, a place, and a thing. April 2026. The TIFF Lightbox. Big Chick Energy Sketch

As the saying goes- “animation is acting”! Join the wonderfully funny and amazingly talented folks from Big Chick Energy Sketch for this interactive session full of games, activities, and exercises designed to challenge assumptions, expand creative risk-taking, and uncover unexpected pathways in storytelling and the craft of animation!

The workshop will start with class introductions and warm up games to get the energy flowing! Julia and John will then lead the group in a series of exercises that will explore team building, idea generation, and how to follow your instincts.

This session has a maximum capacity of 80 participants. Participants will be chosen on a first-come-first serve basis.
