Ready to move beyond musical improv games and create an entire musical from nothing?

Working as an ensemble, you’ll explore how to transform spontaneous scenes into a fully realised musical with memorable characters, compelling stories and songs that genuinely drive the narrative forward. The intensive culminates in a live showcase performance where participants will perform a completely improvised musical together.

Over the course of the intensive you’ll explore:

• Creating rich characters and relationships that audiences care about
• Building stories with clear structure, momentum and satisfying endings
• Using songs to reveal emotion, develop character and advance the plot
• Weaving recurring themes, motifs and callbacks throughout a musical
• Supporting the ensemble to create a cohesive long-form performance
• Developing the confidence to perform a full improvised musical in front of an audience

The workshop concludes with participants putting everything they’ve learned into practice by performing a fully improvised musical.

This intensive is ideal for experienced improvisers who already have some musical improv experience and are ready to develop the skills required for long-form musical performance.
