What makes a great comedy song? How do we deliver when the pressure is on to be funny on the spot - in song?
Each class is tailored to who is in the room, working at your level AND the group capacity. Individual notes, team games and group songs will send you on your way, singing made-up songs with the confidence of a ridiculous clown. We will look at both long and short-form songs, the power of the rhyme and how strong character choices can drive the comedy.
We will work from 10.00am to 5pm with an hour for lunch in the middle.
This class is for people with improvisational experience who are already confident in improvising songs.
Class led by Pippa Evans with Musical Director, Duncan Walsh Atkins.
Cost : £240
Venue : Old Diorama Arts Centre, London NW1 3FE
