Professional Ensemble Process
This class is limited to 12 students.
Build on the skills in Level 1 by learning how to write a sketch revue as an ensemble with a director. This is a process-driven experience, learning through the act of doing the thang by cranking out material on Day 1 and refining it over the course into a fully-realized thematic sketch show. We’ll create game and character-based comedy through improv, pitching, writing, rewriting, adding in technical/musical/digital elements, strengthening performance technique, and highlighting each performer's unique voice and role in the ensemble. This class requires being on-time, present for all classes and ready to do the homework expected for a professional show revue. The final show will debut with two performances on the MainStage at Eris.
Prerequisite: Completion of BCC Level 1 Sketch OR students who have taken at least one full-length sketch course at a major comedy theater (UCB, PIT, Magnet, Squirrel, Second City, iO, Annoyance, etc.) or have similar prior training can begin at this level. Please write your prior experience in the form when registering.
