Detour Workshops: That Sounds Like a Song: Longform Musical Improv

Recommended Experience Level: Intermediate Improv Experience Theater (Musical Background Helpful)

Dive into the exhilarating world of longform musical improvisation where stories unfold through melody, harmony, and lyrical exploration. This workshop focuses on the unique challenges and opportunities of sustaining musical narratives beyond single songs or scenes.Through guided exercises, we'll practice the delicate balance of knowing when to speak and when to sing, how to initiate songs that advance the story rather than stall it, and methods for crafting satisfying musical conclusions. We'll also explore practical approaches to musical support, including basic accompaniment patterns, non-verbal underscoring, and creating instant choruses that the whole cast can join. Suitable for improvisers comfortable with basic singing who want to expand their musical storytelling capabilities.

Topic: Musical Longform Improvisation
