About this Event

Freestyle Thirst is a space rooted in spontaneous lyricism, while welcoming artists from all disciplines to come together and create improvised magic.


What is Freestyle?

While freestyle can mean many things, here it refers specifically to improvised lyricism, often performed over music — though we explore the full range of what that can mean.


Who is this for?

MCs, musicians, poets, actors, beatboxers, dancers — and anyone curious and creative — are all welcome. All skill levels are embraced.And if performing’s not your thing, you’re still part of it. Audience members have the luxury of contributing creatively, without the pressure to perform.


What can we expect?

Each session blends original games and challenges, organic cyphers, and plenty of open experimentation. No two events are quite the same — and that unpredictability is part of the magic.There aren’t many spaces like this in the world. We're building this with the community, so the energy and direction grow with those who show up.


Where does the money go?

All proceeds go directly towards:

  • Running the event
  • A feature-length documentary on freestyle culture
  • Acaprov — the improvised musical theatre show without which this event wouldn’t exist
