September 13, 2015: Further Exploration with Psolodrama

Even more fun than doing psolodrama is doing *sung* psolodrama.

Sung psolodrama is, simply put, doing a psolodrama where everything is sung.

Something magical happens when the psoloist is not just speaking what a character is saying, but also singing it. Singing connects the psoloist with her deepest emotions, providing a powerful additional channel to express feelings and meaning through pitch, timbre, rhythm, poetic or rhyming lyrics, etc. 

Even if you cannot sing at all, just "aiming for singing" can produce strong results -- what may come out is a rap, a chant, a rhythmic delivery, something atonal. Our goal for this session, as always, is to create a safe and judgment-free space for everyone to explore.

For September's Insight Improv Lab, we will do an improvisational singing warm-up to get ready, and then practice sung psolodrama in pairs and as a group. This will be a fun, deep, and active session -- not to be missed!

Join us September 13, 3:30-7PM, Porter Sq, Cambridge, MA.

* Part III of the Insight Improv book contains a more detailed introduction to psolodrama: http://www.insightimprov.org/Lab.html (scroll down to the table of chapters). Three chapters may be especially helpful: The Entryway to Psolodrama, The Practice of Psolodrama, and Psolodrama Examples.
