Based on poems, proposals are built to approach animation cinema through the stop-motion technique. All participants are invited to try out this technique and encouraged to create perspectives on the poems and proposed materials.

PI
Poetry raises ideas! Each verse can have several images and each word is an idea/image. The letters as figures are also images – when animated, they form the words chosen for these verses and, inspired from there, we create the film about the chosen poem. Combining our experience with that of the other workshops, we conceived the film PI-RA-TA. Each group contributed its part to the construction of this visual poem, based on the poem of the same name by the poet Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen.

RA
A spoken poem is a set of sounds from a different reality to ours. In this workshop, we’ll experiment saying words and the whole poem in different ways. We’ll invent sound environments for ‘Pirata’ by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. At the end we’ll combine our exercise with those from other workshops and watch the film/experience – PI-RA-TA.

TA
What images do words like ‘boat’, ‘monster’, ‘tiger’, ‘bear’ or ‘pirate’, among others, inspire in us? How do we draw these and other images that the verses of the poem dictate to us? The visual sense of poetic composition is the challenge for this workshop. How do we create a poem in animated cinema?
This will be our contribution to the film – PI-RA-TA, together with the other workshops in this edition of Festival Play!

“Mar sonoro, mar sem fundo sem fim” de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen.
Inspired by the poem Mar Sonoro and based on sound, we will experiment, gather, listen, build and create our new instruments. Using different woods, natural materials such as cane, ropes, threads, sticks, screws, washers, and others… And between construction techniques and balance games, these sculptures will be transformed into musical instruments.
