✒️ Comedy writing workshop with Patrícia Pardo

How do you write something that makes you laugh? What mechanisms turn an everyday situation into a memorable scene? In this workshop, Patrícia Pardo shares practical resources to explore comedy from a dramaturgical perspective and discover how humor can become a powerful tool for stage creation.

Based on writing, improvisation and analysis exercises, participants will work on the construction of monologues and dialogues, the use of gags, hyperbole, repetition, rhythm and surprise, as well as personal biography and observation of reality as sources of comic material. The workshop combines the practice of writing with the staging of texts, understanding that the body, the word and the action are part of the same language.

CONTENTS

🔴 Comic resources for language and written creation: metaphor, oxymoron, enumeration of three, assumed concept...
🔴 Logical dialogue, in parallel with estichomythia.
🔴 Physical resources for body writing: looks, tension levels, reaction steps, the metaphor of the object...
🔴 Biography as a resource for verisimilitude.
🔴 Hyperbole for fantastic delirium and vulgarity to sustain utopia.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
