THE JOY? THE PAIN? WHERE DOES IT ALL GO?

OK, so there's way more joy than pain, but why do we do this thing called improv?



In 2001, Grimsby joined the ranks of the Canadian Improv Games, competiting for the first time in the TriCity Regional tournament. Ever since then, we can't seem to let it go; just ask our alumni who come back year after year. Improv allows us all to be a part of something completely organic, completely original, and completely spontaneous - to begin with a simple (or not so simple) idea and to create something far larger and more outstanding than we could have ever imagined. We couldn't be more proud to be a part of the family that is the Canadian Improv Games.

Curious about the family? Check it out at improv.ca

And so, we welcome all the new members of our family as we continue on the improv journey.

See you there: Wed, Sept 29 and Mon. Oct 4 -Studio 2 - 3:15-4:45



TEAM BUILDING

And now begins the most important part of any improv season...building the team. Teamwork is everything in improv, at least the way we do it! There is no better feeling than that of being supported by those around you.

If I fall, I know they will catch me.

If my mind is blank, someone else's isn't.

If I step out there, they will follow.

We are now building 2 teams: a competitive and a development team. Regardless of the team, what we are looking for is exactly the same. Can you share the stage? Do you know, instinctively, when you are needed and when you are not? Can you be on stage, actively present, and not pull focus? Can others trust you, your ideas, and your physical being? Are you there for the team, always. Yes, skill matters, but it runs a distant second to your ability to be a true team member. For the next few rehearsals, this is what we are watching.
