Description:

The Head and the Heart: Unlocking Vulnerability through Musical Improv, a transformative workshop, will have improvisers dive deep into two key elements of musical improv: the head (verses) and the heart (choruses). Participants will learn to craft authentic, emotionally resonant songs that connect with both the performer and the audience by using Playback Theatre practices, drawing on stories and experiences shared by themselves and their classmates. The workshop builds confidence in song structure, metaphorical imagery, and even the power of silence, inspiring improvisers to create truthful and vulnerable musical moments on stage.
