The course is an introduction to the basics of writing comedy material for television. It deals with writing quickies and sketches, together with detailed sessions on characterisation, plotting, dialogue and developing a situation comedy. How to make contacts and sell your work will also be covered. The course is intense with the opportunity to write in groups. Extensive course material is provided.
All lectures feature video examples from distinguished or current TV programmes.
Process The tutor, Ken Rock is going to select the best ten applications. The applicants will commit themselves to attending all lectures and to the producing of a script at the end of the course. The workshop will, almost, certainly be the first of its kind in Zimbabwe and will provide a unique training opportunity for comedy writers. It will enhance the capacity of ASDF to deliver on training requirements. The African Script Development Fund wishes to announce the change in its telephone numbers.
