Developed to coincide with the Museum of London and Guildhall School of Music and Drama's recent Beasts of London exhibition, this dual-site visit ran from April 2019 - January 2020 and is no longer available to book.
Pupils were inspired by a visit to the Museum of London's immersive exhibition, Beasts of London where they journeyed through London's past through the eyes of its animals, and created their own animation based on the City's critters.
The session begins with an immersive digital experience in the Beasts of London exhibition, and was followed by a short guided stroll to the Barbican, where pupils were encouraged to think about the role of animals in London's story, and then took part in a creative stop-motion animation workshop.
Pupils learnt about the role animals have played in shaping the capital, from Roman era through to Medieval London and the present day, narrated by the beasts themselves in this theatrical, immersive, experience. Collaborating in small groups with an award-winning London-based puppet artist and theatre designer they then created animations featuring pigeons, foxes, bees, eels, cats, and dogs.
The session was recommended for Key Stage 2 and supported the development of key fusion skills including communication, teamwork, and creativity.
