Create everyone’s new favourite made up song!

A two hour primer, in musical (vocal) improvisation, to get anyone singing on stage as part of an ensemble

• Singing: for non-singers and other performers

• Defining: creating/supporting a shared chorus

• Committing: declaring and exploring “strong point-of-view” verses

• Team building: listening to each other and the music, and being present with each others ideas across pitch, tempo, and emotional energy

We'll end with a musical improv jam to reinforce your skills
