"Soundtrack" - improv workshop with Jochem Meijer (The Netherlands)

Soundtrack

A lot of groups play with musicians who create underscore for the players to spice up the scene. But what if there is no musician available, or you want something different than just the piano or guitar? In this workshop, you will explore the possibilities of working with playlists of music. Let the music influence the characters, the scenes and the relationships but also learn how to make montages, dances, edits and more all with the power of music. After this workshop, you will be able to set down scenes with different uses of music. Let the beat control your body.

Jochem Meijer is an improviser from Amsterdam. He started improv in 1999, so he can and will say that he has over 2 centuries worth of experience. He has made it his work to teach various improv troupes, schools and companies within the Netherlands and Europe and he also plays in various specialized improv groups. In his free time, he is trying to insert his improv skills into the online gaming world. Ask him about it and he will explain in depth what that means (so beware).
He loves making people click with each other and focuses on getting the group to grow together. In his workshops, he focuses on learning through doing. So don't expect to be sitting down for long discussions and be prepared to get moving and playing when you take a workshop with him!
