WORKSHOP - Improvised Rap and Vocal Technique

Trust yourself: You can do it!  

Improvised rap (aka freestyling) is both its own wonderful art form and a great way to develop a calm and present mind that moves without hesitation.   Whether you rap everyday or you've never even tried, learn to flow like water in this joyful intensive. 

You'll learn exercises and techniques that will enable you to let go, be present and surprise yourself with the spontaneous raps you create. The workshop goes from the very basics all the way to trying out the showstopping set pieces used by professional freestylers in a fun and supportive environment.

The workshop lasts 2 hours and includes foundational vocal health techniques that you should be doing before any kind of performance: protect your voices and project your choices!  After the session, we leave free space for attendees to play and perform with the instructors, ask questions, try out ideas and enjoy the freedom of making rhymes together.
