About:
From idea creation to final edits, this class will step the student through the entire process of writing and editing sketch comedy. We'll start with idea generation before giving the students the tools to begin to write their own sketches. Then, we will discuss and engage with what makes a good sketch, and methods of editing our own and eachother's sketches so we can make the best sketches we can.
This is a 4-week course. Classes will take place on Saturdays, October 3rd - 24th, from 3-5 PM. Note class on October 17th, will take place 12 - 2 PM.
