Imp.
Hailing from New York, NY

Imp. was created in 2001 by Asaf Ronen who had just finished scouting talent for Cirque du Soleil. Inspired by the audition process he witnessed, Asaf created a new approach to improvisational scenework. The collection of performers were hand-picked for the fi rst run at NYC’s Metropolitan Playhouse and included actors trained in clowning, trained in Shakespeare, or trained in Commedia dell’Arte while all being familiar with comedy improvisation.
Imp. was reformed two years ago as a two-person troupe featuring goga’s Karen Wight who pulled from her classical theater and dance background. Together, Asaf and Karen have explored the depths of silent communication and have taken the show on the road to Chicago, Miami, Oberlin, Seattle, Toronto and other locations across the country.
Imp. always holds to its basic tenets of what makes a story and its characters engaging and how the body can be used more concisely to convey those ideas.

Imp. is performing an improv show Saturday at 10pm with Get Up. ----> BUY TICKETS HERE
