Smile
and the whole world smiles..And now for something completely different!
Our Team Comedy: Humor Workshop is a truly unique program.
Throughout
the course of the day participants will not only learn the principles of comedy
and humor, but also the importance and applications of humor in the workplace,
home and daily life. We will talk about Humor as a way to reduce stress, diffuse
potentially hostile situations, improve relationships with coworkers, clients
and friends.
Our Program is divided into 4 Parts:
PART
1: Lecture/Performance
After Lunch Participants will assemble for a talk and demonstration on the many
forms of comedy and humor including style, structure, and theory. Interspersed
with the lecture portion are hilarious live examples of each. We guarantee this
will be the most fun you will ever have sitting through a lecture!
PART
2: Writing Teams
Participants will be divided into “Writing Teams”. With the help
and guidance of our facilitators they will create design and write their own
short Sketch Comedy Scenes. Think Saturday Night Live or MAD TV. (Not to worry,
our ground rules will insure that there is nothing offensive in the material)
A head writer will be assigned as Team leader who will initiate creative talk
at the table
PART
3: Performance (Practical Application)
This is where it all comes together. Teams have learned the basic principles
of comedy and have transferred that to pen and paper. Now the Teams will perform
their Sketch Comedy Pieces. (Facilitators will be available for coaching and
helpful suggestions prior to this) Teams will be judged on different criteria
and ballots will be placed in sealed envelopes.
PART
4: The Awards
Our light hearted and fun “Comedy Awards” will take place over Dinner.
Providing a great way to cap the day. This Program is guaranteed to make a lasting
impression and provide lots of laughs and great memories long after it is over!
Our
Team Comedy: Humor Workshops are facilitated by a variety of talented Performers,
Writers, Producers and Directors. Credits range from Off-Broadway, Regional Theater,
