What's great about this workshop? It works for really new musical improvisers, really experienced musical improvisers & everyone in between! What's great about this workshop is it works for really new musical improvisers, really experienced musical improvisers, and everyone in between. We know the bridge can be used for the “what if” - an alternate perspective in a song, but that’s only the beginning. In this workshop, we’ll use the bridge for environmental interaction, dance breaks, sound effects, embodying a gift to the fullest, time jumps, epilogues, narration, or even doing the thing we’ve been singing about! In smaller, two-person scenes, larger group scenes, and opening numbers, we’ll explore the bridge as a theatrical, fun element that takes any scene and song to the next level.
