About this Event

Game in Musical Improv
How to Follow the Fun to Funny

Instructor: Tara Copeland (Los Angeles)


Never get lost in a song again with this workshop focused on finding and playing the game in longform musical improv. UCB veteran teacher and performer Tara Copeland will help demystify the idea of “game” to allow you to find organic games within your scenes that extend to your songs. The result is the funniest songs that emerge from listening, reacting and following the fun, rather than planning.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to let laughter guide you to creating the satisfying patterns that make up organic gameplay, starting in your scenes and extending into your songs. If you’re looking to make your scenes and songs the sharpest and funniest they can be, this workshop is for you.


Student Information

Advanced: This workshop is open to those who have studied or performed musical improv at the intermediate or advanced level.


Workshop Capacity

To ensure the quality of the student experience, this workshop is capped at 14 students.
