Party: Workshop: Musical Comedy

Party: Workshop: Musical Comedy

Are you the kind of person who changes the lyrics to songs to make your friends giggle? Have you ever wanted to turn one of those into a full piece?

In this workshop, students will learn the basics of taking an idea for a song parody or musical sketch and turning it into an audience-ready sketch!

Students will get individual attention working with their ideas and the process for developing them. These ideas can be as simple as "what if (insert action) were happening with (insert music) playing in the background," or as complex as "I have written all of these lyrics but I just don't feel like the song is quite there yet!"

Each student will have the opportunity to perform his or her piece in front of a live audience for the graduation show!

No prior musical, acting, or comedic experience necessary.

Students may bring their own instruments, or we can provide playback of audio, or basic guitar accompaniment.

Students are asked to email which songs they plan to use and what kind of sound accompaniment they will be using prior to the first class so we can appropriately prepare.
