Unapologetically Theatrical - with ImprompTwo

About Unapologetically Theatrical - with ImprompTwo

A three hour class with Kathy & Joe Rinaldi of ImprompTwo. 
ImprompTwo is not your average improv troupe. Known for their emotionally resonant, intimate, and often hilarious performances, this duo takes improvised theatre to a new level—one where vulnerability, timing, and chemistry drive the story just as much as wit and spontaneity.

Over the past seven years, they’ve brought their unique form of improv to festivals around the world, most recently in Oslo, Liverpool, Lisbon, and Nottingham, where their shows received standing ovations.

So what makes them festival standouts, and how you can apply some of their techniques to your own improv?
• Passion is their driving force.
• They embrace the power of silence.
• They banter with purpose, since humor is grounded in character relationships.

Improv can be deeply moving, as well as funny. When you treat scenes like mini one-act plays—with stakes, silence, and sincerity—you elevate your craft. Whether you're new to improv or a seasoned performer, we invite you to attend this workshop and learn how to take your improv from entertaining to unforgettable.

Kathy and Joe Rinaldi bring decades of experience in theatre and performance from New York to Canada, blending a deep understanding of storytelling with a vibrant, theatrical approach to improvisation.
