Beginners introduction to A Cappella Improv
with Lisa Lynn
Saturday, November 18, 3-5:30pm (2.5 hours)
You’ve tried improvising musicals – now try and improvise them completely a cappella! In this a cappella beginners workshop you will learn how to BE the music behind the lyrics; how to underscore any scene; and how to take your musical improv to the next level (even in a blackout!). Work on your beat-boxing, body-percussion, rap, dance and singing; add these to your improv and acting experience – and you have the 7 pillars of Acaprov: The Improvised A Cappella Musical.
This course is best suited to musical improvisers, freestyle rappers and singers who have not yet tried doing it a cappella, and are ready to take the next step. If you love improvising musicals but are not the most confident singer, worry not, pitching is not essential as non-singers can speak-sing, rap and do percussion to navigate the workshop playing to their strengths. It’s a safe space. Above all else, improvising the music as well as the lyrics is just SUPER FUN – So book now and come make sweet music with me – I look forward to seeing you there!
