About this Event
Workshop Description: This workshop is the musical improv equivalent of a Super Mario mushroom. We'll focus on improved scene-song connection, techniques for creating powerful characters, and character wants that make songs that write themselves. By the end of the workshop, you will take your skills to the next level and blow your own mind! But you will still be the same size as you were.
A musical accompanist will provide live music during the workshop exercises.
Workshop Length: 2 hours
Prerequisite: Musical improv experience required.
What Should I Bring? Wear comfy clothes and closed-toe shoes fit for movement. Please bring a notebook and pen/pencil. Bring a full water bottle.
Please read our and before signing up for a class or workshop.
