Wellington Improvisation Troupe's Comedian Bio
|
| Bio | WIT's specific objectives as listed in the incorporated society's founding document at are as follows:
- To promote, develop and foster the performance of improvised theatre and comedy in the Wellington region.
- To teach the skills of improvised theatre and comedy through workshops, classes and any other means to members and to the wider Wellington community.
- To encourage the having of fun and the not taking of oneself too seriously.
We have three creative drivers .. telling stories, cooperation and having fun. We believe these drivers are interdependent and create the best kind of improvisational theatre. This philosophy makes us unique in New Zealand and is reflected in our choice of a not-for-profit organisational structure. Comedy is regarded as the pre-requisite that improvisation is best known for on a public front. However, the philosophy of WIT aims to also explore beyond the bounds of purely comedic improvisation. | | Members | Read about WIT training and membership. |

About me:
From WIT's Website
Formed in 2003 by the players of micetro, Winner of the Fringe Best Comedy Award 2003, The Wellington Improvisation Troupe (WIT) is Wellington's not-for-profit, community-based improvisational theatre group. WIT performs and teaches the skills of improvisational theatre at community venues around the Wellington region.
Theatre is made up on the spot by some of Wellington's leading improvisers and courageous newcomers alike, based on suggestions from the audience. WIT players share a love of storytelling and work together as a team to inspire the audience. WIT theatre is sometimes serious, often hilarious and always totally unpredictable.
WIT values the support from our principal sponsor The Wellington City Council and the Wellington community. We welcome new sponsors and members at all levels of experience. Contact us if you would like to support WIT or become our newest member!
What is Improvisation?
Improvisational theatre brings ordinary people into the theatre to enjoy stories about themselves. For the players, improvisation provides a platform to explore performance and the narrative form and to develop important life skills (creativity, spontaneity, teamwork, listening, perception, trust, generosity and openness). Most of all, it's fun for everyone involved.
Popularised by Nobel Prize Winner Dario Fo, Keith Johnstone's TheatreSports and television shows like 'Who's Line Is It Anyway?', improvisational theatre continues to evolve with many different streams and philosophies.
