"The best shows have a clear idea of what they want to achieve, where the performers have the ability to disrupt normality and engage directly with audiences of all ages. A company who can do just that (apparently effortlessly) is dotComedy. "      - Lyn Gardner, The Guardian |
dotComedy's workshops are ideal for both Festivals and schools (tertiary & secondary).
Using existing dotComedy shows The Chain and The Whys as teaching tools, students learn character, improvisation and performance skills.
Stamp gives a potted history of Street Art. He also gives background on his own career before dotComedy, and an insight into the running of the Company thus far. He uses video, photographs and his most powerful tool - the colourful anecdote.
He is joined by other dotComedy performers and technical staff.
Ideally, each workshop culminates in a live performance, as suited to the situation.
dotComedy offers residencies, or a one-off workshop. Please contact us and we can tailor a package to your needs.
