COMEDIC WRITING
Fred Gloor
This course will focus on the elements that make things funny. Students will learn about comedic concepts such as: Clash of Context, Exaggeration, The Fish Out of Water, and Truth and Pain. Anything can be approached from a comic viewpoint if you understand the basic ways in which a comedic response is derived. The class will focus on short sketch writing, but the concepts translate to other forms. Students will spend some time writing in class.
Six Wednesday evenings beginning November 1, 7-9 pm
Members $110/Non-members $120
