Storytelling meets acting!
Our much anticipated 1 week camp takes youth in grades 8 - 12 on a journey of immersive storytelling where in teams they will write their own stories complete with characters, themes, and journeys inspired by Atlanthos [Ethos Lab’s afrofuturistic world] … then act it out!
In two groups, youth will work on a project where they learn the fundamentals of storytelling. They will then have that chance to write a story into a comic, video game, animated series - whatever they decide. It will contain their own unique artwork and script and be a reflection of their team work, imagination, creativity, and design skills.
On the last day of camp, they'll get to fully embody their characters by acting out their stories as their characters in a game setting (think Dungeons and Dragons!)
The main goal of this camp is for youth to use their imagination, creativity, and critical thinking to world-build and home make and find their own place of belonging in a fictional future reality. And have so much fun doing it.
Our Atlanthos Lab will be facilitated by Edward Madojemu and Jazz Groden-Gilchrist.
Edward Madojemu is an independent animator specializing in VR and game development. Born with a passion for leveraging technology to empower artists, Edward has dedicated his career to researching and developing innovative ways to independently create digital media. His journey began at Emily Carr University of Art & Design, where he earned a BMA in 2D & Experimental Animation. Edward's professional trajectory is marked by a series of notable roles, as Art Director at Hammer & Tong Productions, Edward led and contributed to various animated projects, including Echoes of Chinatown: A Walk with Goong Goong. Edward also brought his artistic flair to Sony Pictures Imageworks as an FX Inklines Artist, contributing to the visual marvel of "Spider-Man: Across The Spider-verse."
At Ethos, he hopes to make creative technologies and practices not only accessible to youth, but also digestible, so they can be empowered to create as they grow!
