Alice - MC 3: Ami McKay

Giant Steps with Ami McKay - Jazz musicians use specific chord progressions as the gateway to improvisation. They use pacing, rhythm and cadence to propel melody, and to create pathways to new, compelling voices. How does a writer apply these same techniques to their practice? How do you give energy and flow to narrative, dialogue and plot? How do you break out of a writing rut and into a fresh perspective? In this workshop, we’ll use a series of writing exercises inspired by the art of improvisation to breathe new life into the written word.
