Comedy & Creativity with Logan Murray
Sun 7 - Sun 14 Jul 2019
‘All creativity comes out of play’ – Wynnicott
‘So let’s PLAY! – Logan
Spend a week in a supportive environment as we explore comedy grammar, joke theory, performance styles and unlock your own unique comic voice.
If you ever wanted to dip your toe into the waters of stand up, storytelling, comic song, parody, satire or monologue, then why not come along and see what your brain can come up with when you least expect it…
- Become a better communicator.
- Re-discover how easy it is to make other people laugh.
- Discover how liberating and creatively fulfilling living in a comic world can be.
The sessions will break down into three basic areas:
- Performance exercises designed at encouraging spontaneity, creativity and developing your own comic style.
- Writing games and homework, with group feedback and tutor led suggestions to help you build up a sense of comedic grammar and hone up your writing skills.
- Finessing and polishing the stuff generated earlier in the week.
Unlock your inner fool and laugh, learn and spontaneously perform funny material. Learn tips and tools to take that sensibility forward into the rest of your life.
Work with the man who taught Greg Davies, Andi Osho, Rhod Gilbert, Josh Widdecombe, Diane Morgan, Joe Wilkinson, Anna Crilley and Kavan Novak.
Life-affirming, laughter inducing and extremely creative.
