Saturday 31st of May
Comedy Intensive Course, Steve Kaplan – 31 May, Arts Institute, Bournemouth
For more than 15 years, Steve Kaplan has been the industry's most respected and sought-after expert on comedy. His former students' accomplishments are unmatched: They have been nominated for 43 Emmy Awards, 1 Academy Award, 3 Golden Globe Awards, 1 American Comedy Award, 6 Writers' Guild of America Awards and several others. They've WON 10 Emmys, 1 Oscar, 2 WGA Awards and the American Comedy Award.
His Comedy Intensive workshop offers proven and practical methods and principles that help you understand comedy from the inside out: Why is something funny? How do you write funny? How do you make your characters funny? How do you structure a comedy story? How do you think funny so it translates from idea to page to screen? In addition to teaching his seminar around the world (he recently taught a series of workshops and seminars in Australia) Kaplan has taught workshops to such companies as Dreamworks, Disney, HBO and others.
