WRITING
Exploring Comedy Writing: "Yes and..."
WN326 TERM 3: FOCUS ON
Monday
Maureen Levy
This workshop explores different facets of comedy writing and encourages participants to play with ideas, tap into their creativity, connect with the truth that comedy uncovers, and realise and share their own comedic voices. Following simple guidelines, the group will experiment with the tools of comedy - such as “The Law of Opposites”, “Wildly inappropriate response” “Rule of 3” and “Yes, and..” Each class will include recordings, discussion, texts and written exercises and provide students with a clear idea of the positive impact and application that the rules of comedy can play in their everyday lives.
