We’re a festival built around connection and community. We aim to create a space where improvisers connect, learn, and celebrate together through watching other performances, taking workshops, and attending the outings provided across the 3 days.
These questions won’t affect your application— we’re just hoping to learn how to make the weekend more accessible, fun, and meaningful for everyone.
What parts of the festival would you be most likely to attend?
*
Shows (in addition to your own)
Workshops
Small group coffees and meals
Outings (e.g., fitness class, hikes, field trip to Creamery)
After parties
Community jam (if possible?)
Are there any barriers (such as cost, housing, work constraints, or travel) that might make it harder for you or your team to participate in the full weekend?
*
Is there anything else you'd like us to know about? For example: are there ways you and/or your team's inclusion in the festival might contribute to the diversity of individuals/teams performing?
