Learn the magic of making up songs on the spot in a focused workshop with one of the leaders in the Australian industry.
Impromptunes, Australia's premier improvised musical theatre troupe, comes to Brisbane for one weekend only with a rare opportunity to work on your songprov. Using just what comes to your mind, long-time improviser Jaron Why will support participants in shaping spontaneous songs. Exploring lyric, structure, melody and finding and locking in catchy choruses, this session will provide a complete approach to developing a song in seconds that could fit into a Broadway Musical... or Off-Broadway at least!
The session is presented by Jaron Why, a seasoned member of Impromptunes and long time musician and performer with The Big Hoo Haa! Melbourne.
Performers with experience in improvisation, songprov and/or composition and a love of music will be best suited to participation in this workshop. Compose your inner composer with Impromptunes - spots limited!
