improv to sketch
|
Harness your improv skills to dive into sketch comedy with the amazing Keisha Zollar!
In this two day workshop, we will learn how to mine improv scenes for comedic ideas. We will then take those ideas and turn them into sketches. On the second day of the workshop, we will break into small groups and write sketches! Students need to bring an excitement for improv, some curiosity around sketch, and a writing software of their choosing, such as Google Docs, Writer’s Duet, or Scripto.
