We are very excited to have been invited to attend the Berlin Improv Festival in March 2014! This will be the first time ever in the festival’s 13 year history where they have hosted a high school improv group and we’re excited to be part of this unique event!
The festival, let by the Berlin Improv company, Die Gorillas, hosts improv artists from all over the world for 10 days of performances and workshops. In the 2013 rendition of the festival, 48 artists from 12 different countries participated in the festival from as far away as India!
Over their 10 day stay in Berlin, our students will participate in 4 days of workshops from two different instructors (not from the US or Canada) and will perform for a local school audience at the end. They also will be enjoying the festival performances and taking time to visit the historic city of Berlin itself.
For a group of 16 students, the total cost is $32,000 CDN which includes their return airfare, ground transportation, accommodations, workshops and access to the festival. Our goal is to raise at least $10,000 to help reduce the per student cost to approximately $1,600.
Your cash or in-kind donation for our November 22 fundraiser which features a silent and live auction will go towards helping us reach our goal!
If you have any donations or would like more information, please email us at vichighimprovclub gmail.com for more information.
Thank-you!
