We will be performing together both as preexisting Vintage Troupes and/or in Curated teams . A Curated Team is made up of single experienced improvisers that work together intensively during the festival and then perform in tat specific improv format. This year for the first time VIF is able to offer improv workshops for anyone age 50+. These 90 minute workshops are offered on a pay as you go basis open to anyone registered for Vintage improv Festival. They will be targeted to three levels -beginner, intermediate and advanced.
All performance based participants will be selected through a virtual audition process. Performance track participants can also apply to perform at the Festival as a pre-existing Vintage troupe. Invited performers take up to 18 hours of intensive small-group instruction together. Each participant performs at least once each night. Featured faculty for this year include David Razowsky, Jay Sukow, Tom Tollenaere,Deana Criess, Brian Palermo,John Windmueller, Steve Kleinedler and Jim Karwisch.
