While carrying over the open, encouraging atmosphere of the entry level class, the advanced course will assist students in working towards individual goals and push them to get even further out of their comfort zones.
The class features 5 intensive lab sessions for participants to workshop stories and receive instructor/group feedback.

- Advanced Structure and Form
- Using The Tools of Humor in Your Storytelling, Whether You are Funny or Not.
