Lucille Ball was known for arriving at the studio before anyone to work on her physical comedy bits for her television show “I Love Lucy.” It’s one of the reasons she was a master at her craft. Comedy is all about precision, timing, and clear choices. Understanding comedy in performance is a skill that is vital to the stage and screen performer. And it takes years to be considered a pro. With sessions designed to tickle the funny bone, GMT is enlisting the talents of some very funny professionals to teach the art of making people laugh through gesture, expression, and movement.
