The following definition is taken from a Report of the European Cultural Foundation in 1973.Īnimation is that stimulus to the mental, physical, and emotional life of people in a given area which moves them to undertake a wider range of experiences through which they find a higher degree of self-realization, self expression, and awareness of belonging to a community which they can influence. Within socio-cultural animation animateurs work with people and groups so that they participate in and manage the communities in which they live. Their task can be ‘seeing that audiences get a chance to connect to the orchestra and its music in new ways’ and helping players ‘to reach out to the communities where they reside’ (Cabaniss 2007). In this way, a number of orchestras in Britain employ musicians or composers as animateurs. For example, an animateur can be defined as:Ī practising artist, in any art form, who uses her / his skills, talents and personality to enable others to compose, design, devise, create perform or engage with works of art of any kind. Animation has been increasingly used in some quarters to describe the work of arts education practitioner. Common settings for this work are community and youth groups, schools and care centres. Within this model of animation animateurs encourage and help people to engage with music, theatre, dance and other art forms for the enjoyment participation brings the self-expression it fosters and for the learning that can flow from involvement. Three main models of animation stand out in the literature: creative-expressive animation socio-cultural animation and leisure-time animation. In what follows we explore the emergence of the idea and some of the practices and theorizations associated with animateurs within different traditions of practice. Part of the problem we have here is that animation, like community education, social pedagogy or informal education, can be used in a variety of ways. In this article we explore some central models of animation the work of animateurs (and animatore) in France and Italy and then turn to the work of Augusto Boal as an example of the animateur at work. It is linked to the activities of animateurs – informal educators, community workers, arts workers and others. In French and Italian especially, it takes on a further meaning.

Illustrators create action from a series of images and we have the illusion of something living. In the English language animation is mostly associated with the work of film makers.
