COMMUNITY PANEL
Each year at the Vancouver Improv Festival, we like to organize a panel discussion around a topic we feel inspired to explore from different perspectives. Welcoming artists from near and far, the festival is an opportunity to expand your understanding of improvisation and to hear about what is happening in communities around the globe.
This year, our theme is Taking a Leap. We will speak to risk taking and innovation both on stage and off. We will talk about that important moment when you decide to move forward with a big decision: be that opening a theatre, disbanding your old improv troupe, or trying a new format. We’ll also discuss what our community needs are and what innovation in improv looks like in 2024 and beyond.
Moderator: Amy Shostak
Panel guests: Diana Brown (San Francisco), Mats Eldøen (Oslo), Patricia Tab (Toronto)
