Improvising Musical Accompaniment

Get to grips with improvising music to accompany improv theatre and comedy!

Taught by leading musical improviser Matt Hutton, this workshop explores the skillsets, mindsets and techniques involved in creating a score on the spot. It is aimed at musicians with some musical theatre or jazz experience who are looking to extend their skills in a new area.

Places are free, but limited spots are available, so please book in advance!

We are offering a koha to low-income participants or those from marginalised/underrepresented backgrounds to support your involvement — please email amltIHwgaW1wcm92ZmVzdCAhIG56 for details.

This workshop is presented by the New Zealand Improvisation Trust and was made possible by the generous support of the John Ilott Charitable Trust.
