This workshop is about being able to identify comedic devices as they’re playing out. This can be invaluable for making strong contributions to a game or scene; that awareness allows us to be more intentional about the “comedy” part of our improv comedy.
Some experience is necessary for this workshop. You should be comfortable taking part in short, one-to-one improv scenes.
What this Improv Workshop is About
In this workshop, we’ll be breaking down some games on a technical level to help us understand the comedic devices in play. Short-form improv games are, for the most part, built on top of tried and tested principles in comedy and writing. By breaking down how these games work, you’ll be getting some insight into how these principles work. We’ll then play around with some of these principles in scenes, giving you a chance to discover how they might work without the framework of a game’s rules.
