Workshop: Dance+Animation by Katya Mikheeva

Projecting her body-moving experience to the animation she creates, Katya is a unique multitalented artist. During her workshop you will get dancing with animation concepts and you'll learn how practicing movement helps in the animation process. She'll even share some principles she uses for a freestyle dance, which are based on or inspired by animation filmmaking.

Katya Mikheeva grew up in Moscow, Russia, where she studied animation at HSE Design & Art University. In 2020, she moved to France to continue her studies at animation school La Poudrière. Katya makes character-driven films, based on relationships and the fun absurdity of daily life. Her freestyle dance practice is based on the moves he learned from hip hop, house, popping, and experimental dance styles.
