Wazzup Pilipinas!
We recently witnessed the performances of just some of the 19 Improv troupes that are scheduled to perform at the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) theater for the Manila Improv Festival 2015.
The Manila Improv Festival is now on its 3rd year and is considered the country's biggest gathering of Improv performers from all over the world.
As publicist Toots Tolentino said, "from Katipunan (representing Philippines) to Poland (from where one of the improv groups came from)" improv artists will be showing how good they are in the art of improvisational theater - a form of theater where most or all of what is performed is created at the moment it is performed (at the spur of the moment as what most of them will say).
Improv requires greater talent from the artists as there will be no script as a guide. You need quick thinking and an elaborate stock knowledge matched with a great sense of humor in order to be able to please your audience.
You'll be laughing out "really" loud at every scene, so be warned that you'll step out of that theater almost out of breath due to non-stop improv fun.
