About event
Ready to turn your improv scenes into show-stopping musical moments?
In this 3-hour crash course, you’ll learn how to create improvised songs that are catchy, hilarious, and full of heart - no musical training required.
Buckle up and join one of Berlin’s most experienced musical improvisers and a legendary pianist for a fast-paced Crash Course: Musical Improv.
We'll learn by doing, singing, moving, and collaborating with other improvisers and a live pianist.
It’ll be exciting, loud, and a ton of fun, no matter how beautifully (or terribly) you think you can sing.
You’ll learn how to:
Build a pop song on the fly • Craft poetic verses and catchy choruses • Turn a scene seamlessly into a full-blown musical number • Support fellow improvisers with backup vocals and backup dancing • Communicate with a live musician • Create a group musical montage
Sound like a lot? It is! But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Requirements:
A love of music and improv • Basic improv experience (Level 1 or equivalent) • Strong level of English • No singing or musical background needed
