ABOUT THE CLASS
This 2-day sketch writing workshop is an opportunity to learn and develop sketch writing skills that focus on finding and exploring the "game of the scene” (i.e. the weird thing about your sketch!).
The first day of the workshop will consist of an introduction to sketch writing concepts, generating premises, pitching ideas, and learning how to stay concise and “on-game.”
On the second day, we’ll read your sketches and you’ll receive feedback on ways to make them sharper and funnier.
This will be a fun way to explore your weird ideas and collaborate with other funny people!
