Clubs Day - Beginning of the School Year The 2015-16 school year was an epic one for the improv club! We kicked off the year with Lily, Zoe, Emily, Jacob and Serenity plugging the improv club at the club days event (happens at the start of every school year). We started with quite a large team - in the neighbourhood of 25 people. In fact, we even had enough to form a "recruits" (or junior team)! With the help and dedication of Vic High alumni, Joe Traill, we started up the year with a bang! Coach Joe! After consulting with the students, we opted not to participate in the Canadian Improv Games for this year - the students were looking to expand their long form improv skills, plus we already had a busy time ahead fund-raising for our second trip to the Berlin Improv Festival ! Initially, we held practices together as one big group... but shortly thereafter split up into two groups (making sure 25 people get some stage time is tough - easier to split into the two
The Victoria High School (Vic High) Improv Club is all about giving students the opportunity to build excellent team work and public speaking skills and above all, to have fun! The club is run by Jonathan Argue (Improviser, past Managing Director of the Impromaniacs Theatre Company Society) and Kim Sholinder (Drama Teacher, Vic High). Thanks to Zoe Schmit, Emily Fraser and Lily Macgregor who step in to coach as their schedules permit. You can reach us at imagination [at] vichighimprov.ca.
