Konstfack Common Seminar: Morgan Bassichis / FUNNY SWIRL

NOTE!
This seminar requires to register in advance (limited to 20 people). Please confirm your participation to ricardo.atienza@konstfack.se.

Abstract
This workshop is for people who are trying to cultivate a sense of humor in their writing. It is WAY too much pressure to be funny on our own (or with others, for that matter). We will use prompts and exercises to lower the pressure and get to know our own unique comedic sensibilities. A great place to start a new project, get re-inspired for a project you’re working on, or begin or refresh an ongoing writing practice. All genres of writing welcome and no experience needed.
