This workshop will cover the foundations of becoming a great musical improviser, but is recommended to anyone with a common interest in theater, comedy, music, improvisation or the marriage of all four.

 

We'll be learning the most simple but effective exercises that will help you find your stage presence, your connection with the song and your emotional connection to the audience. Then expect to dive further into the more technical side of music with song structure, building choruses/verses and genres. We'll polish everything off with some introductory rhyming techniques and then some scene work.

 

It's gonna be a fun and funky 3 hours, so come and join us! (PS: A "good" singing voice is NOT required for this course!)
