Experimental Sketch Workshop with Andy Miara

If you’re a sketch writer, performer, director or teacher who is interested in process, experimentation and discovery, this workshop is for you! This full day session will operate like a professional sketch rehearsal with a focus on material generation and productive exploration. Through writing, improvisation and on-our-feet exercises, we’ll play with a range of techniques to create material. Participants will leave with new creative tools, and new ways to approach writing, performing and developing sketch. Participants should have some prior experience with sketch comedy. A comfort with improvisation is a plus. Come ready to play and let’s see what we can make together! ABOUT ANDY: Andy Miara is a former director for The Second City in Chicago where he also served as a core writing instructor in the Second City Training Center.
