SAWITRI THEATRE’S IMPROV ENSEMBLE TRAINING
Call for Participants
SAWITRI Theatre is creating an Improv ensemble that will perform for corporate and cultural events. Supported by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, this project aims to provide training to up-and-coming improv artists in honing their improv skills and mastering the art of thinking on one’s feet, team building, and communication in performance.
Who can/should apply?
Anyone who is interested in improv and is between the ages of 16 to 60. However, if you do not fall within this bracket and you still want to learn, please let us know. We want to hear from you!
Gender, age, ability, ethnicity, religion, caste, race, and nationality are no bar. (Include the line from MAC call about we are open to folks not falling in this bracket)
Currently, we are seeking potential and emerging improv artists to work in English. If you are interested in improv, sketch, comedy, or short skits, and would like to develop your craft further, this is for you.

You get to train with some of the best improv mentors in business over five weeks and ten sessions. Workshops will be twice a week, and one batch will consist of ten to twelve participants.
