Event Information
Description
Music is a great way to express the feelings of your character in an improv scene. In this workshop, you'll learn the basics of musical improv by practice, practice, practice in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Creating songs in the moment focuses the mind on the present moment, the people around you and your own resourcefulness. Add this powerful skill to your tool box. No previous musical experience or talent needed. Vinny will take people up to their own line of fear and allow them to step over it. He provides a supportive, joyous and safe environment for anyone to explore their own creativity.
