Get ready to embark on a magical journey at The Stan Winston and Steven Warner Festival of the Moving Creature, taking place on April 26th at 7PM!

Join the menagerie of mythical entourages of two giant creatures roaming UVA Arts Grounds. Designed, built, and puppeteered by UVA’s Art of the Moving Creature class, the creatures will come to life and parade through central grounds, and we want you get up close and personal to dance the night away with this captivating pair.

Creatures first roamed Grounds in 2013, and this year we honor the festival’s namesakes Stan Winston, UVA alumnus and Hollywood creature maker and Steven Warner, beloved UVA Drama Technical Director and co-founder of the original festival.

Come in costumes!

Keep an eye out for upcoming student and community workshops! Don't miss this unforgettable night of wonder and excitement at The SW2 Festival of the Moving Creature.
