IMPROFEST workshop: Find Your Flow: A Freestyle Workshop for All Levels- Stephanie Rae

Have fun practicing freestyle rap in a supportive and encouraging environment. Whether you're an experienced MC or brand new to the mic, you've got something unique to bring to the table and we wanna hear about it! We will cover different methods for building a verse, practice rapping from a place of authenticity, rap in scenes, and finally, create our own larger-than-life rap personas for a laugh-filled round of "Build A Rapper." This workshop is perfect for everyone from DJs to dental hygienists, because whatever level you're coming from, you will be met with an appropriate challenge and a space where everyone is celebrated just for having the courage to show up. Push past your fear of failure and find your flow!
