C3? Hip Hop Improv Intensive

New York Citys premier hip hop improv comedy team, North Coast, is a unique collaboration of improvisational comedy, hip hop, beatboxing, and music. This musical improv workshop will get even the most beginner performers comfortable and confident with freestyle rapping and will teach you how to really drill into the deal of your scene and its characters. Learn how to set yourself up, find your flow, and weave your rapped verses in and out of your improv scene-work.

Then take your hip-hop improv skills to the next level using polysyllabic rhymes, second beats, and dynamic scene structures. Trust your instincts and make bold choices that pay off through support work. Students will be expected to make choices with form, flow, and expand their repertoire of characters. Good scene work is imperative to good musical improv; lets drill into the deal of your scene and its characters so you can learn how to set yourself up, find your flow, and rap from a place that matters.

This workshop will also take you through the fundamentals of beatboxing technique, and how to apply those techniques to your own ideas. From boots-and--cuts to BTK's basics, you'll walk out feeling confident enough to show off your skills solo, or collaborate with any freestyle cypher you encounter.
