The ABCs of MCing

Learn the ABCs of MCing from Bastard Keith, the velvety fool who has worked stages from Vancouver to New York to Helsinki. In a friendly, constructive atmosphere, we'll discuss such basics as:

 

- WHY ON EARTH DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

- Finding your stage self (if you have a gimmick, bring it!)

- Confidence

- Kicking things off with a bang

- Keeping the energy high

- Keeping your show from flying off the rails

- When to talk and when to shut the hell up

- Backstage etiquette

 

And much more. This is a good workshop for anyone interested in the art of the MC, from beginners to people who want to see Keith trip over his own words for once

. 

**students can bring any costumes or props they are interested in experimenting with as a host persona. We will also have some on hand to explore.
