BCAF 2015 Workshop: Intro to Beatboxing with North Coast

Stop spitting all over the microphone and make jaws drop with your human drum machine skills. Taught by one of North Coast's own beatboxers, this workshop will take you through the fundamentals of beatboxing technique, and how to apply those techniques to your own ideas. From boots-and--cuts to BTK's basics, you'll walk out feeling confident enough to show off your skills solo, or collaborate with any freestyle cypher you encounter.

About North Coast
With a cast of improv comedy veterans from The Upright Citizens Brigade, the Peoples Improv Theater and The Magnet theaters in New York City, North Coast’s explosive performances have been packing comedy venues, universities, and festivals nationwide since 2009. Built around a single suggestion from an audience member, the show’s improvised scenes escalate into full-blown hip-hop songs, facilitated by resident beatboxer and U.S. Vice Beatbox Champion, Kaila Mullady. With their seamless melding of comedic timing and freestyle rapping abilities, North Coast frequently blurs the line between comedy show and concert, drawing audiences from the comedy, hip-hop, and theater communities for an experience that has been hailed as “mind-blowing” and “next level” by critics and audiences alike.
