Anthrocon 2024

Welcome to Fursuiting in Action, a panel that seeks to bring fursuiters together to learn about the leading edge theories of fursuit performance. Experience with fursuiting is highly encouraged for attendees to grant the largest benefit. This panel aims to provide communal awareness and knowledge to how fursuiting works, how it draws in the attention of others, and make successful fursuiting scenes in both public and con-space settings.

This panel is highly interactive and will require volunteer fursuiters (both partial and full) to ensure its success!

In this session in particular, our host, the King of Purple, will divulge his latest theories of fursuiting and attempt to explain how these work with attracting crowds of onlookers and take audience fursuiters on stage to demonstrate how this works and teach many on how to apply them in the real world.

We will be covering the following theories of fursuiting through the course of the panel. With each of these we will pull volunteers out of the audience to perform them and learn with the hosts:

1. Character Performance
     a. Theory of States of Suiting (Active vs. Inactive)
     b. Theory of Energy Levels (Low, Med, High)
     c. Theory of Engagement Levels (Solo, Peer, Group)
     d. Theory of Fursuit Prop Use
2. Character Appearance
     a. Theory of Fursuit Prop Display
     b. Theory of Fursuit Attire
3. Public Entertainment
     a. Theory of Attention Attraction

As with any type of theory work, we are not saying these are correct, but we challenge everyone to give us feedback and reflect on how it works and develop your own theories too!
