Musical Improv Crash Course with Jon Bander

Sunday, October 28, 2018 | 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

This workshop will teach you everything you need to know to start being a kick-ass musical improviser! First, we’ll go over song structures, taking scenes into songs and different song types to create a full-length narrative musical (opening number, protagonist song, antagonist song, etc). Then we’ll put it all together and start creating musicals ON THE SPOT! We’ll also include tips and tricks for bringing out your most unique, powerful characters and the best way to sing memorable, improvised, GENIUS songs! Beginners and advanced players welcome. If you’ve ever thought about trying musical improv, or you just want to get better at it, this is the workshop for you.

Musical accompanist provided.

Jon Bander is an actor and comedian living in New York. He is a  Character 101 teacher and member of house team Characters Welcome at UCBT. He also taught and performs musical improv with Premiere: The Improvised Musical and Warm Blooded at the Magnet Theater. Otherwise, he does character bits and standup at various NYC theaters, bars and basements

Jon was selected to perform in the New Faces: Characters showcase at the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal. He has also worked for The Second City Theatricals aboard the Norwegian Dawn cruise ship. Jon has also performed and taught workshops at festivals and cities across the country. He’s been fortunate to study with improv luminaries like TJ Jagodowski, David Pasquesi, Armando Diaz, Mick Napier and Susan Messing to name a few.
Outside of improv, Jon has appeared on TBS’s “Search Party” and the Netflix shows “Master Of None”, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and “The Characters”. He also performed off-off Broadway in ‘PharmaBro: An American Douchical”, “8 Million Protagonists”, “POPE! An Epic Musical” and NY Fringe Festival hit musical “Nightfall On Miranga Island”.
Most people just call him Bander. Feel free to do the same.
