MUSIC AS A SCENE PARTNER!
Thursday, October 23, 2025
2:00 PM 5:00 PM
Too often, music directors are seen as supporters whose role is to heighten our creative choices, rather than help shape them. But what if we flipped that dynamic? In this workshop, we'll explore how music can prompt character choices, emotional shifts, and dynamic storylines. Through rhythm, mood, and style, you'll learn how to respond to musical cues, letting them influence your performance rather than solely underscore your moves. This workshop is about saying “yes, and” to your music director too (!), treating music as a dynamic, collaborative scene partner, and building something even stronger together.

About the Teacher:
Jenifer is a professional pianist and improviser based in Groningen (NL). Since 2015, she’s been a main cast member and resident pianist of the English-speaking group Stranger Things Have Happened (STHH). Passionate about bringing improv into higher education one-university-at-a-time, she’s led workshops in Spain, Croatia, the Netherlands, and the United States. Currently, she teaches a variety of improv-based subjects at the Prins Claus Conservatorium and the University of Groningen. In her “free” time, she’s working on a PhD exploring how improvisational theatre can enhance musicians' expressiveness (spoiler: it can!). In February 2024, she founded the STHH Improv Academy, where experienced improvisers can dive into thematic courses and develop specific skills. Her sessions are all about presence, play, and self-reflection, creating a safe space to explore and challenge unconscious patterns, while discovering new ways to heighten the fun for both players and audience.
