Since the start of fall, I’ve been trying something new:
Every Monday evening, along with some improv friends, we invite anyone interested to join us in the basement of Barlone for an improv workshop. Then, once a month—one Monday out of four—we record sketches with a live audience in front of a green screen. Entry is free as long as you order a drink.
So far, we mostly have professionals (actors, directors), but everyone is welcome. We haven’t fully nailed down the rules yet.
What we're aiming for is a new way to create fiction, where performance—not writing—is at the heart of the process. We invent, build, and rehearse on the spot, without going through the script stage.
First filming session tonight. Theme: "The Catastrophe." Nothing is ready. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Thanks to Barlone for hosting us with genuine warmth, as they do with all their events. And thanks to Cynthia Pedrosa for the illustration.
If you’re interested in the adventure or want to join in, check out more info on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
