Stings

From 12:00 to 14:30 at Dingle Skellig Hotel (Meeting Point)

A masterclass which gives animators the opportunity to participate in a creative concept generation and sketching up-skilling programme. This is a tried and tested model which runs each year at Animation Dingle and is popular with both students and professional attendees. It allows for, and positively promotes, an informal setting to nurture the creative process and encourage dialogue between animators and students.

The overall objective is to learn and promote learning in a relaxed, fun, young person centred and symbiotic environment; for each student to push themselves, but to be open to new directions in their work.

Animation Dingle D&D

From 12:00 to 16:00 at Dingle Skellig Hotel (Gallarus Room)

A party of creative heroes came to the end of their pilgrimage arriving at the flying island of An Daingean. Artists from all around the world of Gostar gather here every 5 years to witness the emerging of the great wyrm, an Pháist as he refills the world with creativity and imagination.

But this year, when the wyrm emerged, they were not greeted with his carefree cartoonish smile and boundless gifts. Instead, the party was met with a creature in pain who began to drain this world of imagination, instead of gifting it.

What is the importance of creativity, what happens if you take it away?

Now on a journey to restore balance, this group of artists have been venturing through leylines, in order to solve mysteries of the past to save the very future they came from.

Come join us for this Epic Time Travelling Extravaganza’s Final Act!

Our finale takes place in the Dingle Skellig Hotel.
