Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this comedy writing class:

A solid grasp of the mechanics of comedy writing for the stage is a powerful tool in the hand of any playwright. While comedy is a main element of an over-the-top farce or a burning satire, it is just as essential to delicately lace comic elements into the most serious drama.

This class might be for you if you are:

  • A playwright in any stage of your career interested in the comedic form.
  • Looking to infuse your playwriting of any genre with smart, well-structured comedic elements.

In this class you will:

  • Study the specialized set of rules for comedy, which are vastly different from the dramatic form.
  • Complete writing assignments and workshops focused on these unique rules to develop your comedic work over six weeks.
  • Shape your ideas, structure your plot, develop believable characters, and write witty dialogue.

By the end of this class you will:

  • Have a solid understanding of the principles of comedy and how to weave them into any script.

Zoom Meeting is easy to start, join, and use to collaborate online in a personable way via desktop or mobile without complicated set-ups. The Zoom Meeting Host (your ESPA instructor or administrator) sends out a meeting link and at the time of your class, you just click the link to launch the virtual classroom via your web browser. In the Zoom Meeting, each participant can share their webcam so that you're not only hearing your instructor and classmates but seeing them too, making it feel similar to being in one of the studios at ESPA. 

Other exciting collaborative Zoom features include Breakout Rooms in which students can meet in smaller groups, "Raise Your Hand" feature to better facilitate balanced conversation, Video Sharing, and File Transfer for your assignments.

And Zoom has an Apple and Android app, making it possible to take part in class from any device.
