Course Description
Course: PA-102
Many seasoned performers often call comedy their trial by fire. It can be both the most challenging and yet the most rewarding of the performing arts.
If you have a particularly well developed funny bone you owe it to yourself to “take it for a walk” and explore our “Adventures In Comedy” course. The applause of an appreciative audience wearing smiles you gave them is like nothing else on earth.
Stand-up comedy, whether you want to be a professional or not, is the fastest and most intense way to overcome any trepidation in public speaking (or even business sales presentations).
Stand-up is the ultimate character builder. This course opens the door to the elements that make this incredible art form tick: writing through improvised lateral thinking, drawing from personal experience, going with the flow of an audience, timing, and exercising and strengthening your mind in a challenging art form where audience feedback is instantaneous.
These workshops will take a budding comedian through the paces with an opportunity to test drive all the comedic skills covered here by utilizing the performance stage at The Arts Club in front of a live audience!
Topics Include:
- Writing through Improvised Lateral Thinking
- Drawing from Personal Experiences
- Going with the Flow of an Audience
- Developing your Timing
- Mind Exercises to Hone your Skills
- Bringing out your Unique Character
