The Improv Mini-Fest is a tiny celebration for our huge local improv talent. We will open with a game designed for actors and improvisers to crack each other up, see some long-form improv from the Chilliwack Improv team and Maple Ridge’s own Improv Until Proven Guilty. Spontaneous Shakespeare will close the evening.
Workshop
4:30-6:00
What Are We? Improvising Strong Relationships
Join Delaney Gilmour for a 90-minute workshop focused on building clear and compelling relationships in your improv scenes. Through guided exercises and scene work, you’ll explore how establishing relationship dynamics early creates depth, stakes, and direction. Learn how to make bold choices that fuel engaging, dynamic scenes.
