Inspired by The Maydays’ acclaimed show Happily Never After, we’ll explore the beautiful, bizarre and delightfully dark corners of creating theatre through spontaneous song.
This intensive is for intermediate to experienced improvisers with some musical improv experience who want to push their skills in singing, movement and ensemble musical storytelling. Dive into the playful world of musical improv through:
● Character-driven musical scenes inspired by fairy tales.
● Group singing with melody, rhythms, counterpoint and soundscapes
● Physicality: playful ensemble movement and stage presence.
● Collaborative freeform musical storytelling with emotional depth and theatricality.
Expect creative risk-taking and spontaneous musical magic that will give you tools for bringing song, character and theatricality into your improv and the confidence to explore musical improv in new ways. Magical, otherworldly and always playful; just bring your energy, your imagination and a willingness to get weird!
Liz Peters has been performing professionally for 25 years, having trained as an actor at Mountview in London before studying improv at iO Chicago and with many teachers from other improv schools. A player with The Maydays since 2009, she has improvised throughout Europe at numerous festivals and performs regularly at Komedia Brighton.
