Friday 29th June 2012
Are you a new improviser looking to join your first group?
Are you an experienced performer looking for new adventure?
Are you a Second City or similar pro from overseas looking to find like minded people
in the UK?
Are you the Director or Producer of a current group looking for new improvisers?
Are you looking to start your own group for the first time and would like to team
up with others?
Are you an experienced Director looking for a new challenge and new team?
Are you looking to perform occasionally in guest shows and events?
Are you looking to perform regularly with a tight knit group?
Are you looking to have a drink on a Friday night and chat to other improvisers?
Are you someone I have forgotten to write about on this list?
Then come to the Improv Networking event! Friday 29th June 2012.
Every season, a free open for all networking event for improvisers. We’re working
with as many other groups as possible to make it an open thing, rather than just
a Hoopla thing.
We’ve had a lot of people asking us about getting involved in performing impro, especially
from new performers or experienced performers from overseas who have just moved to
London. It happens at the bar after shows and workshops anyway, but we thought we
might as well put on specific events.
After a bit of informal chatting we’ll be hosting a more formal section where each
improviser in order (if they want to) gets to announce to the group:
1. Who they are.
2. What they are looking to do.
After making sure everyone has been heard patterns will emerge, the group will begin
to understand each other, and connections will hopefully form. After the formal bit
they’ll be more general chatting/drinking/networking. And as it’s a Friday it’ll
probably give way to more Friday like behaviour.
Date: Friday 29th June 2012 and once per season after that.
Where: The Miller, 96 Snowsfields Road, London Bridge, London, SE1 3SS.
6:30pm: Doors open for drinks and general informal chit chat.
7:30pm: More formal introduction to every person there and what they’re looking for.
8:30pm: Back to more informal general chit chat/networking.
