Do you ever play a really funny scene but have no idea how you did it? Are you throwing spaghetti at the wall looking for laughs? Do your scenes feel random, unfocused, or just plain weird? In this workshop, you will practice finding, naming, and playing the Game of the scene. This systematic approach to scene work will give you a structure to "follow the funny" through explorations of unusual characters. Based on techniques from Del Close, UCB, and hundreds of class hours, instructor Nick Medina will give you tools to take control of the laughs and make your scenes and sets smarter, funnier, and more reliable.
