Silent Signal: Cascade at Central Saint Martins

An evening of art and science animations and interpretations

Cascade is a creative response to the Silent Signal project, where students from Central Saint Martins interpret themes within the animations produced to design and deliver workshops for young people.

Students from MA Art and Science and MA Character Animation are working with Genetic Moo & Dr Neil Dufton (Battle of Blister) and Samantha Moore and Dr Serge Mostowy (Loop) to interpret and extend ideas addressed in the commissioned animations. Workshop ideas will be developed with Heather Barnett (MA Art and Science Course Lecturer) to design and deliver a series of workshops with young people local to Central Saint Martins in the Kings Cross area.

The Cascade project event will include presentations by artists and scientists commissioned for Silent Signal, students working on the Cascade project and a screening of all six Silent Signal animations.

Free, but booking required.

MA Art & Science
This pioneering postgraduate course responds to a fast-emerging territory for interdisciplinary and collaborative art practice. The MA Art and Science gives students an opportunity to interrogate the creative relationships between art and science and how they can be communicated. They explore different approaches to making and presenting their work with the aim of proposing and realising innovative outcomes in practice and research.

MA Character Animation
The MA in Character Animation at Central Saint Martins is the leading course in storytelling animation in the UK. The course has developed from a 6 month Certificate, through a year long Diploma to the MA we know and love today. By taking a methodical approach to animation acting and storytelling, the students produce little gems of films that travel the world. Their films are witty, dynamic and unique and never get stuck with a label or house style. Their students are team players and talented individualists, who go on to work in all areas of the animation industry.
