Songprov 1 day

with Tim Redmond

Whatever moment inspired the audience call is now the inspiration for the song. No waiting. No hedging. Go. It’s an act of boldness and trust.

So, you're in a scene....You're listening to your scene partner, checking in with stage-picture, advancing the narrative, honoring the genre, playing your character's internal wants and desires while watching for your partner's... and the musician starts playing. It sounds like a song intro...

 
... it is a song intro...
 
Oh.   No.
 
Now... Sing!
 
It sounds impossible. An improvised song? But in The Songprov Machine, we’ll explore just how simple and free Songprov can be. How with just a few simple tools, and a whole lot of trust, we can create elegant and emotional songs from nothing. 
 
 
We'll learn to relish those moments the musician starts playing.
 

No singing experience is necessary.

Prerequisites: Impro Melbourne's Spontaneity, or similar training at the discretion of the Artistic Director or course instructor.
