Improvised Music in Short Form: a workshop with Impro Melbourne

Put the 'I sing' into 'improvising'!

Most musicals begin with an I Want song. If yours is "I want to develop my songprov skills further", Brenna Dixon has the workshop for you.

Building on the skills covered in Songprov for Beginners, this workshop helps you weave songs and scenework together by playing some classic musical improvisation short-form games. Not only are they fun and powerful in their own right, they're a great way to enhance other shows like Theatresports or Maestro.
