Wander Full: Parade Emails, Chautauqua Brain Storm, Emily Hubley ...

If you haven't read about it yet: Cherokee Street Chautauqua Art Lab is a one week project. LEARN, INCLUDE, COLLABORATE, CONSTELLATE. These word best describe our take on the old movement. We envision an event each night for one week that might inspire people to discuss, connect with each other, share- where people can come and hear about topics that might pertain to them. A sort of free night college. The original Chautauqua Movements from the late 1800's-early 1900's and brought entertainment and culture to the community via speakers, teachers, entertainers, religious theorists, and specialists of the day. Saturday I went to the Webster University workshop with Emily Hubley. First I want to say Kudos to WFS because they consistently bring in contemporary animators. This has been a lifeline for me and my own practice. I was so energized to hear Emily Hubley speak. I have been a fan of her and her parent's work for the past couple of year. In fact her parents' animations were the first animations that made me cry, because I felt overwhelmed with beauty. She showed several of her animations interspersed with a continuous Q and A. I was struck by how she could transform her materials into an animation. Marker sketches, spraypaint, pencil, paint, newspaper, back lit paper, all these things were used to make these ever changing fluid animations. At times they were hard to follow because they meandered much like dreams but there was an inventiveness to her storytelling and her animations that made following the entire plot not necessary for enjoyment.
