| Sat, Mar 6, noon-2pm | Intro to (Comedy) Writing | All Levels | Cené Hale | Are you stuck in your writing process? Are you being taunted by the blank page? Maybe you've never written a sketch before and you don't think you're creative enough to be a writer (you are). If so, then this workshop is for you! In this 2 hour workshop you'll drop-in to a smorgasbord of exercises, drills, and new approaches and learn how to find your voice and get it down on the page. (Cené is a Texas-born, Amsterdam-based actor, writer, and voice-actor who writes silly songs and makes stuff up for a living. Seriously.) |

Tech for Online Musical Improv
Sunday, March 14, 2-4pm CST
w/ Kenzie Slottow
Learn how to run online musical improv classes or jams with live improvising musicians, using Zoom and Audiomovers. We’ve gotten creative with the limitations of live remote musical collaboration. Just because you can’t have people singing harmonies in exact rhythmic unison, doesn’t mean you can’t have epic solos, duets and group numbers. You’ll get a chance to try out the setup and sing to Bryson Kemp’s brilliant piano-playing from wherever you are, too!
All classes are held in the Zoom app, so download and test it before your class.
