WORKSHOP FORMAT: Whether participants are looking to make their mark in Stand-up Comedy or to use the invaluable skills otherwise in public speaking, performance, business communications, or writing, I have found that the best way to lock them in is to work toward a performance. So with the graduation performance _x001C_ to look forward to_x001D_ students are _x001C_ pressurized_x001D_ and get amazing results (as well as have an unforgettable experience on the night !) The course will cover communication, performance and comedy basics essential to great Stand-up (and most other performance and communication forms). Students will take raw concepts and workshop their ideas within the class to find their own _x001C_ comic voice_x001D_ and create a 3-5 minute set of original comedy to be performed on the Sunday evening. Audience members often comment with amazement on what the graduates accomplish in only 3 days!!! These graduation nights never fail to be exhilarating and triumphant evenings of fun and laughter. THE COURSE WILL COVER: - Making an instant connection - Captivating your audience - Being _x0018_ likeable_x0019_ - Managing fear and stage-fright - Increasing confidence - Finding your authentic voice - How to generate raw ideas - Essential comedy writing techniques - Enhancing creativity - Stage craft - Understanding what makes people laugh - Developing your persona - Refining inspirations into explosive comedy - Using the skills in other applications COST _x0013_ The workshop is $375 And to ensure we have an audience on Sunday, students are required to on-sell 5 x $15 tickets. WHO WILL BENEFIT _x0013_ Whether you are an aspiring stand-up, a total novice, a business communicator, presenter, in performing arts, or someone wanting a one time transformational challenge, this workshop is for you! TESTIMONIALS "I_x0019_ ve done tons of workshops, personal development, public speaking, the lot& . And I got more out of this one than any of them" Neil Prescott _x0013_ Property Developer "the most challenging and self satisfying thing I_x0019_ ve ever done" Steve Simmons _x0013_ CEO (recruitment) _x001C_ & .loads of sweat, some therapy, but mostly a huge amount of FUN& _x001D_ Vivienne Wynter _x0013_ THE SUNDAY MAIL (Brisbane) "Robert Grayson's course helped me to use the material I had to its best effect -- lessons which carried over into my book writing as well as my performance work. Even when I'm not performing I use what I learnt on Robert's course to find the humour in frustrating situations. It's better than a course of psychotherapy!" Melanie O'Flynn, Comedienne / writer For some unknown reason I decided to trust this strange (but incredibly funny!) man and a room full of strangers with my vulnerability.....and it paid off & . I totally recommend this course to people who want to challenge themselves, whilst having a great time with a great group of people! Deborah Bland, Comedienne (Graduate last Adelaide Workshop)
