Description:
This advanced improv course will take the foundation of music improv and apply it to unique improv forms that focus on elements of storytelling, grounded scene work and group mind.

Those that attended Part 1 of the Musical Improv Retreat in April 2022. Also, those that feel confident holding their own in a 2 person improv scene and are also confident in their musical chops.
