Maestro –
Impro Comedy show

PARTICIPATE

But wait, there’s more! You can also be part of the show! There will be a free warm-up workshop for all participants  and we will randomly pick a few participants to go on stage with the already set cast. This offer is open for all levels of impro, even beginners. Register for the warm-up workshop!

This mixed ensemble format features a large cast and directors. The show has an elimination structure, where randomly chosen improvisors play scenes with each other. The directors set up the scenes and direct the players when needed. Scenes are scored by the audience, with points awarded to all players in that scene. The players given the highest scores continue while those with lower scores leave the show. This goes on for several rounds until only one improvisor remains – the Maestro.

 The mission of the International Theatresports Institute (iTi) is to make sure the rules of the format are interpreted the “Keith Johnstone” way and to preserve a common structure of the shows. We also believe these rules enable an approachable, enjoyable, and varied way of doing theatresports.

We use the generic term “Maestro” for all genders by default, but we will ask the performers before the show whether they prefer a different form.
