Registration opens Friday, October 16th at 7:00am!
You have all the nuts & bolts of improvising a song; now it's time to bring it to the next level! We'll work on bringing Broadway-level physicality and commitment to musical improv and finding the emotional core of a song that can really hook an audience. Along the way, we'll take a look at some iconic Broadway moments and see how we can learn to heighten our own musical theater storytelling and visual language.
