Beat Cafe

with Rik Brown

Come and let the language loose!

 

Come and let the language loose!

This workshop focuses on finding the joy in words and uses Spoken Word poetry to help free our minds and our tongues. The Beat Cafe format then uses these improvised spoken word poems to inspire characters, scenes and stories.

A great chance to stretch some different Impro muscles while also flexing some that are already defined. 

The performances will take place on a Friday night at 9pm after the student Jam and performance from 'Sofa sessions' or 'Once more with feeling'. 
 

Prerequisites: Impro Melbourne's SpontaneityNarrative TechniqueCharacter, Scene Work courses, or similar training at the discretion of the Artistic Director or course instructor.

Questions? Contact our workshop co-ordinator Katherine.

Age requirement: 18 and over. Please see our Impro in Schools programs for anyone under 18.
