Musical Improv Workshop - Last Few Spaces!
Does the thought of improvising songs in your games and scene work fill you with dread? This short course in Musical Improv will help you strike the write note and find the right key to unlock your musical potential!
Musical Improv - Not As Scary As You Think!
ComedySportz players Rachel and Felix will guide you through all the basics of improvising a song, including structure, rhythm and melody. They'll also show you how songs fit into a play to create a musical, and how to improvise lyrics that fit the plot, explore your characters wants and needs, and wow audiences.
The workshop is perfect for anyone hoping to expand their skill set or try something new and more importantly being able to sing/ having musical knowledge is NOT necessary to enjoy the workshop. Likewise, some basic improv scene knowledge would be useful for this two day intensive, but not crucial.
Classes are fun, friendly and affordable. Don't miss this great opportunity to learn a challenging new skill in a safe and supportive environment.
Where and When
The two day short course will run 15th-16th June and be held upstairs in the main theatre space of The Kings Arms, Salford. Each workshop will run 12.30pm-5pm.
