SUMMARY:Comedy Scene Study with Poornima Kirby
DESCRIPTION:Come tickle your funny bone through an exploration of the art\, science and silliness of\ncomedy! Whether you are the class clown or worry you haven’t a funny bone in your body\, this\nclass is a perfect place to express (or discover) your inner comedian. In early weeks we’ll learn the\nprinciples of comedy scenes through improvisational games. After the first week\, students will each be\nassigned a comedic monologue and scene from a classic comedic writer from Shakespeare to Moliere\nto Noel Coward to Neil Simon and more. Over the remaining classes\, students will rehearse and explore\ntheir scenes\, adding staging and character details. In the final class we will share our scenes and\ncelebrate! Memorization and theatrical experience are not necessary; this class will be tailored to the\ninterests and requests of participating students. Poornima Kirby is an experienced Shakespearean\nactress\, with numerous credits in film and theatre. She has performed at the Senior Center in King Lear\,\nA Christmas Carol\, and a compilation of Shakespeare scenes. She teaches public speaking\, poetry\, and\ntheatre to students of all ages.
