Both the costume designs and theatre scene designs of the russian avantgarde movement are expressionist in nature. Yet, they show humanity and are in their own way very humorous. The dance animation by Erica Russell, using basic shapes and rhythms to express the movement of dance, is to some extent both solemn and equally humorous. The animations by Joan Gratch use morphing, to transform wellknown artworks into other equally wellknown artworks.
