► ACTIVITIES The workshop leader, Logan Murray, will concentrate on three main areas:
Performance exercises designed at encouraging spontaneity, creativity and developing your
own comic style.
Writing games and homework, with group feedback and tutor led suggestions to help you
build up a sense of comedic grammar and hone up your writing skills.
Solo work where the student’s writing, stage performance and technique is put under the
microscope.
► STUDENT PROFILE Fit, dedicated individuals who can stand a weekend, more or less, alcohol free
