Event Details

Level: Experienced

Jazz up your musical improv and put a little more flair into your performance with a romp through various musical theatre styles.

Taking influences from poignant French chansons, sizzling showbiz and more modern musical theatre, we’ll improvise songs from the heartfelt to the bawdy, from tear-jerkers to rocking out. This is an opportunity to expand your range as you take to the stage in your own living room, embrace your inner show-person and let rip.

This course includes:

playing with different genres

singing with soul, humour, character and heart

selling your performance with style

Min. participants 6, max. 12.

This Experienced course runs Thursdays 10th June- 15th July, 5 – 7.00 pm BST.
