Manual Cinema Hosts Hands-on Workshop with Students and Community

Chicago-based and internationally renowned multimedia art collective Manual Cinema conducted a hands-on, participatory workshop exploring the company’s approach to storytelling and live cinema techniques on Thursday, Oct. 10. The workshop included an overview of the company’s creative process; a staged sequence demonstrating the company’s AV/puppetry techniques and cinematic language; and an opportunity for participants to use the company’s equipment to devise short vignettes of their own. Participants included an array of Shenandoah Conservatory theatre students in acting, musical theatre and theatre design and production programs, as well as community members involved in sculpture, performance art, photography, filmmaking, animation and more.

The workshop followed Manual Cinema’s performance of “Frankenstein,” a production which stitches together the classic tale of “Frankenstein” and Mary Shelley’s own life to create an unexpected story about the beauty — and horror — of creation. Combining live theatre and music with handmade shadow puppetry, cinematic techniques and original musical compositions, Manual Cinema creates immersive visual stories for stage and screen.
