Join the Newcastle community for an unforgettable evening of inter-disciplinary and improvised performance arts at the highly anticipated ALL IMPROV NIGHT. This community event, which will take place on December 9, 2023, at the Catapult Dance Choreographic Hub in Newcastle West, promises to provide a safe and welcoming space where the lines between the audience and performers are gracefully blurred. Throughout the night, there will be five engaging ways to immerse oneself in the world of improv. If you already have a performance idea in mind, pre-book slots for either a group or solo act by filling out the EOI Google Form. Musicians are also encouraged to participate by simply showing up and jamming with fellow artists and performers. Those in need of equipment are kindly asked to inform the Improv Collective Page in advance, while those with their own gear are advised to arrive approximately 30 minutes before the event begins. Additionally, attendees have the opportunity to join the weekly classes hosted by various participating groups such as Improv Theatre Newcastle, Contact Improv Newcastle, and Improv Dance Newcastle. These groups will also showcase their prepared group performances during the event. For those who prefer a more spontaneous approach, open improv slots will be available on the night, allowing participants to join in on other people's ideas and scores if they are open to participation. Of course, spectators are also warmly welcomed to witness the magic of improv unfold before their eyes. The day's schedule includes a 5pm door opening, followed by an introduction and opening scores/facilitation at 5:30pm. Performances will begin at 5:45pm, with each slot lasting between 4 to 7 minutes. A community meal and interval will take place at 7pm, featuring a delicious dinner provided by the talented Holly, a seasoned caterer with a warm and shining personality. The performances will recommence at 8pm, and the event will conclude at 9:30pm, followed by pack-down. To ensure everyone can enjoy this extraordinary evening, tickets are available for purchase at a cost of $35, which includes the community meal. For those facing financial difficulty, a limited number of Pay-What-You-Can tickets are available. It is encouraged to secure tickets as soon as possible to provide an accurate headcount for the communal dinner.
