Unlock your creativity, hone your comedic instincts, and dive into the world of sketch comedy with this exciting and dynamic course offered in collaboration with Dad’s Garage Theatre.
Using improvisation and proven writing techniques, students will develop sketches as individuals and in small groups. At the end of the 5-week course, sketches will be filmed at Trillith Institute, helping students add to or start building their sketch comedy reels.
Whether you’re an aspiring comedian or just looking to have a blast while learning acting or screenwriting, this class will take you on a journey through the art of improvisation and sketch comedy development. Dad’s Garage, a renowned comedy institution, brings its expertise to your fingertips in this hands-on, laughter-filled experience.
Students will participate in weekly group writing sessions outside of class to further develop the skill of pitching ideas, how to give and take critical feedback, and how to work with others in a writing room scenario. Students create their very own scripts that can be recorded at the end of the course.
