Improvisers assemble! Impro Melbourne has announced the 2015 season of MAESTRO IMPRO ™. Join Impro Melbourne on Sunday evenings at The Space in Prahran as Impro's heroes gather to show off their talents and battle for audience approval - this format is all about an ensemble cast collaborating and competing, a showcase of improvisation at its best.
Each night of the season, directors challenge improvisers to step into the unknown and perform to the peak of their abilities. Players' numbers are called randomly from a hat, performing scenes according to their director's wishes. Scene after scene they get closer to becoming the maestro for the match, with each round risking elimination.
Outwit, outplay, outlast? While there are the inevitable favourite combinations, loyalties and rivalries, our players use their special talents, be it mime, comedy, improvised song, character, narrative, or Shakespeare, to unite in one common goal: simply to make the audience have a great time. With each player strategizing to form an alliance with the audience, the crowd votes to decide their fate and to determine the ultimate victor!
This season is directed by IM co-artistic directors Katherine Weaver (producer of the Soap-a-thon) and Patti Stiles (Veteran Improviser and artistic director of the International Theatresports Institute). The cast features all of the Impro Melbourne players and weekly special guests.
