Join us for an enchanting prelude to SW2 Festival of the Moving Creature.
As the excitement builds for the grand parade on April 26th, dive into the magic early with our "Creature Couture Workshops" on April 20th at Live Arts from 11:00 AM - 1:00PM and 1:00PM - 3:00 PM as a part of the Tom Tom Festival.
The SW2 Festival will showcase two giant puppeted Creatures from UVA’s Art of the Moving Creature class.
At this special pre-festival event, unleash your inner designer and craft your very own beastly embellishment to become an integral part of one of our creature’s entourages. Whether a wearable headpiece or black light lantern, we invite all community members to come to this workshop and make a piece to parade alongside the mesmerizing creatures as they roam the UVA Grounds, your creation adding a splash of magic to the spectacle of mythical marvels!
Inspired by the festival’s namesakes Stan Winston–UVA alumnus and Hollywood creature maker– and Steven Warner–beloved UVA Drama Technical Director and co-founder of the original festival– these community creature entourages will celebrate their legacy in style and joy during a night of wonder and excitement.
Appropriate for all ages, come as you are and let's make some magic together!
The SW2 Festival of the Moving Creature is sponsored by UVA Arts, The Jefferson Trust, an Initiative of the UVA Alumni Association, the Stan Winston School of Character Arts, UVA Department of Drama, and the UVA School of Architecture.
