5 Workshops / 5 Instructors (Nov. 15)

About this event

5 Backline Alumni have been working for 8 weeks to develop their own improv workshops, and we think everyone will find at least one workshop that is a great match for them, but you can take all 5 for less than 1 regular workshop! Each workshop will be 1 hour long and split between 2 Sundays in November, and each workshop is only $5. Purchase tickets at: https://www.crowdwork.com/e/5-workshops-5-instructors

SUNDAY, NOV 15TH

2PM **HONEST CHOICES: YOUR CHARACTER'S INNER VOICE *(Some Improv Experience Required)*** LEXIE FOSTER In our everyday life, each of us has an inner voice that guides the choices we make and the actions we take. On stage, your character’s inner voice is still there, and the decision is up to you to find it, listen to it, and act upon it. Following your character’s inner voice leads to more honest choices on stage, therefore building more genuine scenes for an audience. In this workshop, improvisers will practice leaning into their character’s point of view and discovering how this influences the actions their characters make, leading to a more authentic world on stage.

3:15PM **SING YOUR HEART OUT: FUELING SONGS W/ EMOTIONS *(Some Musical Experience Required)*** LILY WANG Musical improv often feels intimidating, as there may be pressure to juggle breathing, melody, rhythm, rhyming, and physical movement, all while moving scenes forward with your improvised songs. This workshop will focus on letting go of those concerns and just concentrating on channeling feelings and emotion in your musical scenes. We'll practice singing with a range of different emotions and then tie it together with improvised stories. Attendees will leave feeling more skilled at connecting with audiences with emotion fueling their songs.
