On Comedy
Pure Research 5 – Lois Brown and Elizabeth Pickard
Research focus
This project experimented with comic structures to build new work. By de-constructing the structures of comedy – usually stand-up – the research examined joke structures, punchlines, and other comic tools to create points of transformation in performance.
