Magical Musical Metaphors
An intro to figurative language in improvised lyrics with Misch Whitaker
You've heightened the stakes, the emotions are flowing and you hear the musician begin to play--- now's your big musical improv moment! You start to sing, but - you're out of things to say.
You're a fly in amber. A ship on a windless sea. A hamster on a wheel. In other words: you're stuck.
Fear not, this workshop is the chisel to your resin, the wind to your sails, and a hamster extractor all-in-one.
Discover the magic of using metaphors to transform emotions into compelling lyrics.
Whether you're looking for a simple way to convey a big feeling, or something more complex to challenge your audience, Misch Whitaker’s workshop will have you creating lyrics full of metaphors (and similes) faster than a squirrel can throw an acorn.
Don't keep your lyrics trapped in an old jar. Unstick the lid and let them loose!
With accompaniment by Josh Hornick
Saturday, August 2nd, 1-4pm
Prerequisite: Completion of Intro to Musical Improv

About Your Teacher:
Misch Whitaker has been performing, teaching and directing improv for about 23 years. You can catch her Friday nights at Laugh Boston performing in Dirty Disney, a Catalyst Comedy show that she also directs. She is half of the two person improvised show Breakup! The Musical, and a member of Big Bang Improv. Past improv credits include Boston's Unscripted Musical Project at Catalyst Comedy (2012-2020), ImprovBoston Mainstage (2013-2014) and Improv Asylum Mainstage (2008-2012). Misch also works as a registered nurse and often offers improv workshops specific to healthcare providers. (She's available for inservices, retreats and conferences!) When she's not on stage (or wearing a stethoscope), Misch loves hanging out in trees in her camping hammock, reading books and napping.
