Feminine Comique (Fem Com) is a Chicago-based class that provides opportunities for female-identified individuals to use comedy to share and convey their unique stories in an all-female supported environment: www.femininecomique.com/.
CDPH and FemCom are piloting a free six week project at the end of March to make the art of storytelling available to a wider audience. This is a beginners workshop and participants do not need any prior comedy or performance experience. Participants are asked to commit to one two-hour session per week for six weeks. Exact times and locations will be finalized next month with interested participants. Refreshments will be provided at each class.
Eligibility Requirements:
– Cis Gender and Transgender identified Women of Color
– Participants cannot miss more than one class (six week session)
– Participate in the graduate showcase at the end of the six weeks
– Have an interest in using comedy principles to openly create, construct, or share stories with a human interest
