Celebrating
11 years in the industry, the Silly People’s Improv Theater (SPIT) and the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) proudly present the Manila Improv Festival 2013 happening this June 26-30, 2013 at the PETA Theater Center. This
festival, adopting the theme Follow Your
Feet will also feature various improvisational theater groups from
countries such as China and Japan.
The
festival’s move to the PETA Theater
Center marks the return of the art
form to its roots in the country. PETA first introduced improvisational theater
to the Philippines
in the early 1970’s. And through this venue, the art of improv will have a
chance to have a bigger audience which is a huge step that SPIT undertook as it
looks forward to its second decade.
SPIT,
headed by artistic director Gabe Mercado, is the country’s premiere
improvisational theater group. The group has represented the country in various
international events and festivals such as the Los Angeles Comedy Festival in
2004, and in the Hong Kong and Beijing Improv Festivals.
The
Manila Improv Festival 2013 comes at the heels of the 1st Manila
International Improv Festival in line with SPIT’s 10th year
anniversary celebration. This year, the second edition of the festival aims to
create a new, fun, and exciting theater experience for improv enthusiasts and
generally anyone who wants to have a good time and learn something new.
The
improv groups participating this year include the People's Liberation Improv
and 3 Dudes Improv from Hong Kong, Beijing Improv from Beijing, Taichung Improv
from Taiwan, Xiamen Improv from Xiamen, Zmack from Shanghai, Pirates of Tokyo
Bay from Tokyo and the Silly People’s Improv Theater from Manila. For each set,
three improv groups will perform a variety of long form and short form
