Spitfire Sessions: Freestyle Rap Workshops

Spitfire Sessions: Freestyle Rap Workshops

Freestyle rap is so much fun. It’s also something that looks cool as shit when we can drop it into an improv show. Oh, and it’s also something that we can get better at the more we practice. So that’s what we’re going to do. 

These Spitfire Sessions are back-to-back 2.5-hour workshops with Ryan Millar (aka Ryman Illar), an improviser and freestyle rapper of, like 25+ years. 

Feeling like dipping a toe in? Love to do it but not so confident? Come to the Beginner Session for supportive and fun skill-building with other like-minded souls.

Love freestyle rapping and want to learn new techniques and kick it with others in the same boat? Come to the Intermediate Session for supportive and fun skill-building with other like-minded souls.

Want to challenge yourself to do both? Sounds great! You totally should!

Morning, 11:00–13:30: Beginners Never freestyled or still a bit like Bambi on the ice when it comes to rocking mics? In this gentle but challenging session we’ll work on building that rhyme muscle and boosting your swagger power, so your confidence grows, as does your ability to nail some couplets.

Afternoon, 14:30–17:00: Experienced freestylers. If you’re already into rocking mics, c'mon and let’s get after it. We’ll probably work on trading off rhymes, building an infinite flow, and maybe some improv rap shortform. But y’know, like a good cypher, we’ll also just go with the flow. Expect plenty of practice and some new techniques. 

Both sessions are physical, playful and highly involved. We’ll all be doing more with our freestyles by the end of our time together. 

Book the ticket for the session (or sessions) that match your level and bring your rap readiness on 25 October.
