MUSICAL IMPROV WORKSHOPS!

Featuring Special Guest Musical Director Michael Gottlieb! 

Cost: $20 per session. THIS CLASS IN INVITE ONLY. 

As if improv isn’t challenging enough, let’s add rhythm, melodies, and song structure! Musical improv is the ultimate high wire act that is thrilling but not necessarily scary. Our guest coach will guide you through the basics of moving from scenes to songs, creating choruses and verses, and taking the pressure off of rhyming.

It’s necessary to have some (even a little) improv experience. It is NOT necessary to be a great singer or to have musical experience. Really. 

Mon. 2/9 (7-9 pm) –  Wed. 2/11 (6-7:45 pm)  –   Mon. 2/16 (7-9 pm)  –  Thurs. 2/9 (7-9 pm)

Really want a thrill? Take all 4 classes and accompany us in a live musical improv showcase!

** Musical Directors

You are a rare commodity. We want to give you the opportunity to add musical improv to your repertoire and then pay you for your skills when we want to practice and perform in the future. These workshops will be conducted in a separate nearby location and you will have semi-private instruction from working MDs for a deep dive into this thrilling adventure. There is no cost to you for these special workshops. We hope you will participate in both workshops.

You are welcome to contact Jessie Gray at 316.833.1889 to discuss this in more depth.

Pink Short Form

In PINK Short Form, we learn to play without so many words. In some improv games we secretly signal to our partners what they need to say to keep us out of trouble. In other games we use gibberish to heighten the players’ struggle (which also heightens the fun for the audience). The Short Form games we learn in PINK include Foreign Film, Location/Object/Weapon (LOW), Excuses, and many others.

Green Short Form Classes

GREEN Short Form focuses on space and object work. We don’t have props and costumes; no scenery or recorded soundscape. To lure our audience into our stories, we rely on the way we handle imaginary objects and the environment. The Short Form games we learn in GREEN include Freeze Tag, Lines from a Box, One-minute Fairy Tale among many others.
