Unique to Instant Theatre, the 4 week Sketch Writing Intensive will teach students the valuable fundamentals of sketch comedy writing including: Premise, Comedic Conflict, Creating Memorable Comic Characters, Rule of Three, Comedic Twist, Collaboration, Satire & Parody. Weekly classes will be split between practical lessons & group exercises, as well as, workshopping student sketches in a weekly writers room.
After 4 weeks, students will gain a foundation in the basics of sketch writing, the invaluable feedback & experience of working in a weekly comedy writer’s room and the tools & knowledge to further develop their comedic writing.
No experience is necessary but students will be expected to write a sketch a week (on their own or collaborate) outside of class time.
Taught by passionate, veteran Sketch Writer & Performer Jackie Blackmore, students will not only gain the basic skills of strong sketch comedy writing but also learn her many valuable tricks when it comes to manipulating & winning over a live comedy audience.
