Comic Devices

Participants: Level 4 and higher
Instructor:
Kevin Scott from New York City / USA
The workshop will be taught in English

Try to answer the phone while the soap makes you slippery in the shower. Meet the hip hop grandma and the confident computer nerd. Be the world's worst party clown. In this workshop you will dig deep into the field of comedic improvisation!

Getting the audience to laugh is easy – we can always make a funny reference, a quick joke or play the weirdo... but these tricks get old and the audience gets tired of them. Keeping scenes funny and the audience interested means improvising with structure and concepts towards a comedic story. Kevin Scott will introduce you to the comic devices that will make you go beyond your usual comic premises towards hilarious scenes and continuous comedy. Let the fun begin!
