Pink Ladies: Women Make it Up's first fringe shows (16th and 18th September at 8pm) are fast approaching. (Book your tix now!)
Essentially, we're making up a mockumentary. Each night will have a different improvising "producer" whose documentary you will see created before your very eyes. In rehearsal we have had themes like Breaking the Cycle of Habits, Frenemies, the inside story, and Loneliness.
Pink Ladies is long form improvisation.
Sydney is well-acquainted with short form improvisation in the form of Theatresports. Long form differs from the Theatresports because it is more theatrical. Long form has less audience participation so you, the audience, are safe to enjoy the show. And with long form there are no time limits.
With Pink Ladies you will see improvisation which is closer to traditional theatre in its story telling and its relationships. And yet we maintain the thrill that improvisation gives to both players and the audience - the high-wire, anything might happen feeling of 6 women's minds taking you on a journey, through drama, comedy and characters devised on the fly.
Many of the Pink Ladies were part of the cast of Improvactually a series of 9 improvised shows in March and April 2010, which followed some intensive workshops. The video clips you see on this site so far are from those shows.
