About this Event
About this Workshop:
Do you struggle to activate your whole body in musical improv? Do you often find yourself in scenes without a sense of your own physicality, your emotions or your surroundings?
In this workshop, Myles Nye will help you to explore all of the physical gifts of your instrument--your body and voice--and use them to quickly get to what the scene and song are really about.
Students will learn tools for not just building out your improvised physical space, but for interacting with it in ways that deepen your understanding of your emotions and relationships and allow you to sing about what really matters. Ultimately, this is a workshop about the space around us and the closeness between us.
Date, Time & Location: This three hour workshop will take place on Sunday, April 19 from 10:00am to 1:00pm at the Endgames Improv training center at 2989 Mission St, San Francisco.
Intermediate/Advanced Students Welcome: This workshop is open to those who have studied or performed musical improv at the intermediate or advanced level.
Maximum Capacity: In order to ensure the best possible experience for those taking part, we are capping this workshop at a maximum of 12 total students.
