SKETCH 201: Write & Create- Full Course with Chris Dudley & Kate Hammer

Take your sketches from concept to even more polished and published with our new advanced sketch course.
About this Event

Join performer and writer KATE HAMMER and comedy writer CHRIS DUDLEY for a six-week sketch creation workshop!

Following a sold-out session earlier in the year, Kate and Chris are back to teach the sketch process from beginning to end, from inspiration and ideation, to writing and performing.

Over the six weeks, participants will learn about the different forms of sketch, brainstorming techniques, how to structure a gag, and how to deliver it, with room left in the schedule for Kate and Chris to go into further detail on specific areas on request.
Each week we will lead the group through exploration of the type of sketch, ideation, pitching, and writing of the sketch genre, with additional time left for: filming on cameras and phones, editing, colour grading, posting, additional feedback, or anything else based on group interest. Each session will include generating ideas that Kate, Chris and the class can feedback on, so that by the end of the workshops each participant has at least four sketches polished to perfection.
