Musical Improv Level Three: Performing the Show!

Learn how to use musical narrative elements to create and sing a story on stage!

In the first two levels of this program, students learned how to improvise meaningful songs and scenes; in this level students will learn the basic building blocks of telling a story in musical improv.  Students will practice creating protagonists we care about and the antagonists who oppose them, filling the world out with “charm” characters, bringing it all together in the later part of the show.  Students will practice putting all of these elements in The Fairy Tale, a thirty-minute narrative format! This class will culminate in a run of shows on the Stomping Ground stage.  The prerequisite for this class is Musical Improv Levels One and Two at Stomping Ground Comedy Theater.

This class will focus on:

• Working as an ensemble to create big opening #s that establish a world
• Singing Want Songs from the Protagonists point of view
• Creating opposing antagonists and philosophy songs
• Trios and Charm songs with strong points of view which vary musically
• Metaphor songs and singing figuratively
• Performing the musical long form, The Fairy Tale

This is a 7 week recurring in-person course held Wednesdays 7-9:30pm starting Wednesday, January 6. The instructors are Lynsey Hale and Josh Diamond. All students must adhere to policies in the Stomping Ground Student Handbook. Must be 18 years or older.
