How to create a good refrain, what is a “return” and what should be the right hyperbolization: it turns out that you can also learn humor! Everyone will be able to do this thanks to the project “School of Humor”, which won the seventh season of the contest “We Are City”.
Among the teachers of Humor school will be not only experienced Zaporizhzhia comedians, in particular members of the “Zainka” team. The stars of the television League of Laughter – Nikolai Atanov, Ilya Bortual, actress Olga Kiyashko, editor-in-chief of the Zaporizhzhia League of Laugh Vladimir (from the duet “Igor and Lena” of “Dnipro” team) will also give lectures here. Among other things, there will be practical classes that will give the opportunity to perform at the “open microphone” and try students’ hand at the Zaporizhzhia Student League of Laugh, which starts in October.
Igor Litvinenko, author of the project shared the following information:
Developing a sense of humor is difficult thing to do. Either you have it, or you do not have it. Never the less you can learn to make jokes, write a script correctly, and amuse people if you decide to devote yourself to humor. However, in ordinary life, humor helps to build a communication with people. Often, even in serious business negotiations, a beautifully inserted joke on time helps to decide their outcome. When we conceived this school and calculated how much it costs, we realized that without help we would not carry it out. The above notwithstanding, fortunately in our city there is such a great project as “We Are City.”
The school will run for three months. The regional youth center has already held the first lesson. Thanks to the grant of 80 thousand UAH, won in the contest of social initiatives “We are the city”, we have free participation in the School of Humor.
