Storytelling through Comics and Anime with Ronna Raz and Oskar Schröder
Learn the basics of comics and visual storytelling! Structure and develop personal characters and simple comic narratives, in either your own comic style or anime.
You will get a crash course in character creation, page composition, and narrative building, as well as exploring how drawing and writing can work together to build stories able to communicate ideas and emotions to the reader.
Arena 305 presents: Gr8 Ones Street Dance Collective
Gr8 Ones Kulturförening is a non-profit association founded in Malmö 4 years ago with a goal based on strengthening and maintaining the cultural scene, with a focus on street dance and club environments. With its knowledge and commitment, the association has organized dance battles, panel discussions, social gatherings, and educational sessions aimed at youth and adults, with the purpose of increasing understanding of the origins and development of street dance. The association sees culture as an important tool for learning about identity, belonging, creativity, and rights in society.
In collaboration with Arena 305, Gr8 Ones will present a shorter performance focusing on the roots of hip-hop dance, where elements such as “freestyle,” “social steps,” and “call-and-response” are central. Afterwards, a workshop will be held where participants can try different dances included in the performance. No prior knowledge is required, so even beginners can participate! So feel free to come and dance!
