Jean-Charles Mbotti Malolo Masterclass - Dance meets Animation

A journey into the world of the French-Cameroonian artist, dancer, animator and filmmaker, and an exploration of the interplay between dance, animation, sign language and documentary film.

Among his films, ‘The Sense of Touch’ (2014), internationally recognized, is the perfect example of the connection between dance and animation. His 2018 short ‘Make It Soul’ a tribute to black American music, was nominated for the César Awards in 2020.

Jean-Charles Mbotti Malolo finds it hard to talk about his work without going through the past that guided him to where he is today. So this masterclass would show how he accepted to be a multidisciplinary artist at first, to finally understand not long ago that dancing and drawing is one and the same, for him at least, story telling. He’ll try to guide the audience through his process and through the experiences he had trying to learn how to tell stories.

Admission is free, with limited places available.
