…and for other improvisers

I regularly teach and coach improvisers in improvised singing.

I regularly run courses with Hoopla Impro. More information and bookings here.

Introductory course
This course covers song structures, rhyming, opening numbers, and moving from scene into song.

Next steps
In this course we look at more advanced structures and patterns, and further explore group performances.

• I also run shorter courses, for groups in London and internationally. As well as introductory courses, I’m currently teaching the following workshops regularly:

Making People
We’ve got a great character. They love cars, and they’re a bit nervous. Great! Next step—how would this person propose to the girlfriend? How would they respond to an alien attack? In this workshop, we create characters who feel authentic and believable. We’ll get to know them so well, that it will be easy to make decisions in scenes.

The core of a song
Whether we’re aiming for funny, moving, or a combination of the two, the best songs tend to have a clear hook, catchy lyrics, and a specific concept. Together we can think of these as the ‘core’ of the song. In this workshop, we’ll look at how we lock in on this ‘core’ in order to make our songs fun, memorable, and easier to perform.

Creating songs like magic
This workshop looks at creating songs in a less structured organic way, that are catchy, non-narrative, fun and that work well in groups.
