THE WAY (TWEENERS)
Posted on January 18, 2017 at 10:11 AM |
The
Way I've
grown to understand it's the *tweener things that separates real
comic artists from amateurs. By 'tweener things' I mean the over all
story, the way they keep things stirred up during their jokes with
verbal hooks and expressions, methods that are so effective to
continue to reset attitude and redo/reinforce the set up, all the
while maintaining control of the passion. It's MUCH about control. It
has to be, you're in front of a mob that wants to be entertained. And
if you're smart you want to use every second of the time on stage to
assist your performance. There is no hang time on stage, what appears
to be hang time to the audience is 'tweener time' to the artist. ;) ~ I'm
convinced the 'tweener thing' is a natural thing to talented 'born to
do it' comics. I'm not sure they even think about it. When these
things are natural it's comparable to having a great singing voice.
You just do. it's part of your make up, it sounds right to your ear
and has a rhythm that gives you that timing bounce that in turn gives
an energy to your punchlines. To
the casual artist all this is something that HAS to be thought about
and practiced. It's as important as your jokes, maybe more so. It's
character, it's a nearly invisible time for your essence to flow, and
is a valuable asset to your one person show (which is stand up thru
and thru. I'm sure you agree). ~ You
have to allow the audience to laugh of course, but you have to allow
them to breathe, to take in, to consider. In
this tweener time, which to an audience most often looks as if it's
'float time', trust me it isn't. During this time a comedy artist can
reinforce the mood he or she wants in these moments. He/she can
control the tempo, bolster their image, set up perhaps many jokes to
come, and more. ~ Think
of it as having the power to keep the audience entertained, even
amused, as you're loading an arrow into a bow that you're about to
fire directly at them. Why
don't they know the arrow is coming? Because the audience sees
neither the bow or the arrow. ~ Very
simply said (having strong tweener things) is being a leader,
displaying character, personality, being a great conversationalist,
possessing or developing a convincing way. A way that puts the
audience at ease in nearly a hypnotic sense. It's a set up that runs
throughout your show. What appears to be innocent remarks or
expressions are in a real sense 'verbal hooks' that act as oars to
steer your show anywhere you want. To continue to give it energy and
image. ~ Perhaps
it's the master set up for all of your set ups? ;) ~ Because
believe it or not while all these 'tweener things' are going on you
still have to have great jokes with funny punch lines. *We
can discuss what I believe to be 'tweener' things in more detail in
my comedy dojo sessions. Soon
on video chat if you like as well. “Everything
you do should serve the punch line”. -chili
