Being in your head has a terrible reputation in improv circles. This workshop is all about being in your head at the top of the scene (a good thing) and then using the information to truly play out of your head for the remainder. One exercise, one technique. Adding pattern recognition to your bag of improv tricks will help you find the comedy faster no matter the form.
The "Anatomy of a 1-Liner: Writing Monologue and Roast Jokes" interactive seminar teaches students the various categories and structures of jokes used in monologues and roasts. Using this organized approach, students will participate in exercises that enable them to improve their current jokes and to write new ones from the latest daily newspaper.
Ever feel like you suffer from multiple personalities? Why not put them to work! In this character building class, you will learn how to cultivate fully developed and realistic characters through a blend of classic mask techniques & improvisational games. This class will not only make you a character connoisseur, but help you contextualize them for the stage, screen and even auditions.
This class will simulate what a week as a writer for SNL is like, culminating in a live show at 11:30pm on Saturday night!
