The Mopco Improv Theatre in Schenectady seeks one or more accompanists for improv shows.
<div>
A good improv accompanist is able to play in a variety of genres, collaborating with the improv actors by laying down chordal and rhythmic structure for creation of songs in the moment, in front of the audience. It takes a keen ability to listen and adjust on the fly.

<div>
In addition, supply underscoring for select scenes and improv games. In some ways this is similar to movie scoring— improv underscoring heightens/comments on the action of the scene without stealing the focus.

<div>
Some pay. Most performances are Friday and Saturday nights at our theatre, but we also do private gigs in the theatre and at other locations. We supply the keyboard. There may be opportunities to co-teach improv music workshops as well.

<br>If you are interested, please contact Michael Burns at <a href="mailto:michaelburns@mopco.org">michaelburns@mopco.org</a> to arrange an interview/audition.
