SKETCH FUNDAMENTALS
With Second City Alumnus Lindsay Mullan
Lindsay Mullan will be teaching an intensive workshop on the
fundamentals of writing sketch comedy. This class takes an
academic approach to sketch with idea-generating exercises
that harness and hone your improv skills!
In this workshop we will explore basic sketch theory and
knowledge. You will be analyzing classic sketches in pop
culture, breaking down narrative structure, and learning all
about premise, heightening, game of the scene, and how to
express a strong point of view in your writing. After learning the
creative rules and tools of sketch we will have a discussion on
the process of bringing comedic works to TV. Lindsay will
explain how a sketch writing packet for TV is made and she will
go over her step-by-step method of creating a TV pilot pitch
package.

INTRO TO ILLUSION MIME: WITH GORDON WHITE

performance. A very useful & impressive component for the improviser’s toolbox!
