AARDMAN MODEL MAKING – Hag and Con with Aardman Co-Founder Peter Lord

Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, Morph, Creature Comforts…they all came from Aardman. As Aardman celebrates its 40th anniversary, Empire Live are honoured to welcome an experienced Aardman model maker for two model making sessions.

Con and Bex with Aardman Co-Founder David Sproxton!!!

One session will guide guests through the process of making Gromit, the lovable silent dog and the brains behind Wallace; in the second session, guests will have the chance to make the plucky farmyard hero Shaun the Sheep. Suitable for kids and grown-ups alike, all participants will get to take home any models made, with the opportunity to animate them at home. Great hands on activity for all the family!

FROZEN SING A LONG

Frozen isn’t a film best watched in silence and at Empire Live, the team are actively discouraging that kind of behaviour — asking the audience to belt out //Let It Go// at the top of their lungs in time with Elsa. The same goes for //Do You Want To Build A Snowman?// in time with Anna. And for //In Summer// in time with… well, you get the idea. Because this screening of Frozen is a special sing-along screening.

Hag and Con with Josh ‘Olaf’ Gad!!!

And if you’re not entirely sure of the words to //For The First Time In Forever//, that’s OK — because the words will be on the screen for you. Start those vocal exercises now. Print off the lyrics to “Let it Go” at home and start practising http://create.disney.co.uk/frozen/let-it-go-lyrics
