understanding comedy
One day workshop intensive with Tai Campbell.
WE’RE GOING TO LEARN HOW TO BE FUNNY!
Understand Comedy. Combining elements of improv, screenwriting and some fresh new ideas we’re going to break down comedy and simplify the process making you fluent in creating humour with ease – it’s comedy on purpose!
Say goodbye to floaters and mercy edits! You know those scenes that go nowhere? We’re going to make it easy to find the point of the scene and find the funny keeping the audience engaged and invested.
Enter the writer’s room! Just like in your favourite sitcoms you’ll get opportunities to contribute ideas to scenes in this collaborative approach to comedy and improv.
Comedy Cornerstones. You’ll gain intimate understanding of comedy cornerstone such as set up reveal, set up misdirect and even cringe comedy.
Think sketch, think sitcoms, think comedy movies.
It’s comedy made easy!
Who’s this for? Improvisers, teachers, actors, writers, directors, comedians and lovers of comedy and dramedy.
