This week we continue our summer project, 6S: Some Suggestions Sometimes Summer School Series. Each week this summer, on #NoSuggestionPod, we'll have on a performer, usually a comedian, with very little long-form improv experience. Me, and a few of past No Suggestion guests, all seasoned improv comedians, will give that guest a private improv class live on the show. It's a cypher in the studio this week as we welcome rapper, educator, and founder of Freestyle Fitness, BS (@trustbs)! Co-host Christopher Morucci (@christophermorucci), and guest co-host, Mark Melton (@swugmark), and I get to chat with BS about how he teaches people how to rap, the difference between short-form and long-form improv, comparing improv scenes to songs, and how Freestyle Fitness (@freestylefitnessnyc) employs cohort based learning. We also get to do a few improv scenes with BS. We really get to dissect each scene, and we also try to employ a few notes, trying some scenes over again after getting adjustments. There's some great gems in this episode about improv, comedy in general, and the parallels between improv and rapping. If you're interested in learning how to rap, or practice your freestyle rapping, at whatever level you are at, or learn to write raps, I recommend checking out Freestyle Fitness, either in person in NYC, or virtually. Please enjoy this episode. I was so fun getting to build with BS. We know you'll have as much fun as we did.
