ANIMA 2010

‘Feeling a little off-colour this winter? A bit stressed out with listening to what is going wrong with the world? Anima is offering some light relief for the head and desire for the heart with a little cure of animation. There’s nothing like it for putting the neurons back in phase with the zygomatics and vice versa.’
