Calling all Pōneke improvisors: it is time to gather and celebrate the year-that-was-last-year in this very serious, very official, very fancy awards ceremony and party!

You are cordially invited to the fourth annual IMPROVISOR OF THE YEAR Awards. All improvisors who have performed, practiced, directed, taught, learned, and otherwise engaged with improv in Pōneke are eligible, and all are encouraged to attend. Please share with your companies and communities.

NOMINATIONS WILL BE COLLECTED ON THE NIGHT
GENUINELY EVERYONE IS ELIGIBLE

This event will take place from 3pm at the Akaroa Drive Rehearsal Space (address provided on booking your tix) and feature the awards ceremony proper at 4:30pm. Stay until the host says 'please go home it's Sunday'.

Tix $5 to cover some kai and inu, and so we can confirm numbers
Partners and kids also welcome (no tix needed for kids)
Dress: Awards but make it Christmas/Summer

Health & Safety: Don't come if you're sick! Windows will be open and outdoor space available to hang in. Masks welcome.

Jill Bernard (Minneapolis) shares her method of creating spontaneous characters, VAPAPO along with a selection of joyful essays, perfect for the beginner improvisor looking for more and the experienced pro looking to refresh. This tiny book is an easy way to get more into the scene and less into your head with shortcuts to fuller, playful characters.

We have a small supply of the last copies of the 4th edition, available for postage to New Zealand and Australia (shipped weekly). Want to pick up your copy in Wellington? Enter the coupon code PONEKEPICKUP to get free shipping and we'll be in touch.
