Feel like you can't rhyme when improvising songs? Keep getting stuck down rhyming dead ends? This is the workshop for you!
In three hours, we will cover the basic building blocks of improvised rhymes!
- How to find your flow
- How to stay calm
- How to successfully rhyme and land punchlines in improvised songs
...all while keeping things fun, stress-free, chill and relaxed!
The session involves a lot of writing with pen and paper, and not a huge amount of standing up alone and rhyming on the spot. And when we do rhyme, sing, or rap together, it'll be in the form of fun shortform games! The atmosphere is always very relaxed, fun and supportive!
Rhyming is one of the things improvisers find most terrifying. This workshop will help you turn that fear into freedom and fun!
Previous improv experience preferable, but not required.
