SUMMARY:Loose Cannons Improv 2025
DESCRIPTION:Every show at Loose Cannons is a one-of-a-kind experience—exciting\, unexpected\, a little dangerous\, and always ridiculously fun. \nPart One: The night kicks off with a unique performance from special guest improvisers showcasing their signature style or a never-before-seen format. Your suggestions fuel the fire\, and the improvisers will ignite the stage\, bringing your ideas to life. \nPart Two: Buckle up because anything can happen. This half begins with a single audience suggestion—and that’s where the chaos begins. Improvisers dive in\, riffing\, playing\, and building connections through a dynamic opening game. It could be a song\, a monologue\, or a whirlwind group association—whatever emerges will spark the stories\, scenes\, and surprises that follow. \nThe performers are true loose cannons\, and you’re the one lighting the fuse. What will they create? It’s entirely up to you. Come for the comedy\, stay for the thrill—you never know what will explode onto the stage. \nUnpredictable\, Unfiltered\, Unmissable \n

SUMMARY:Mime and Physical Improv with Jay Hitt
DESCRIPTION:Mimes are able to create full environments and objects using only their skill and imagination. How do they do it? This class will show you. You’ll learn the basic skills a mime uses to transform an empty space into a full world of endless possibilities. \nDate: Thursday March 20\nTime: 7:00pm – 9:30pm\nLocation: Unexpected Productions Improv School\, Georgetown Studios\, 650 South Orcas\, Suite 217 Seattle\, WA 98108 https://goo.gl/CMCRQp\nMaximum Students: 20\nCost: $80.00\nPrerequisite: All levels welcome \nTeacher Bio:\nJay Hitt is the creator and director of Mouth Wide Shut\, a completely non-verbal improvised show that uses Pantomime\, Figurative mime\, Corporeal mime\, and various types of dance to create scenes based on the spectators’ suggestions. these suggestions are also retrieved non-verbally. \nJay is also the Managing Director of Unexpected Productions and has been with this improv company since 1993. He has performed and directed a variety of short and long-form improv shows since 1988. He created the Duo Improv Showcase in 2008. He has studied with great coaches from America and Europe and has been teaching and coaching improv since 1998. He is well known for his fearless approach to physical improv and his precision when it comes to object work and environment creation. \nNOTE: Please note that this class has a great deal of movement and action. Please dress accordingly and bring a bottle of water. \nPhysicality is a kind of language\, especially in improv. Jay’s class helped to remind me just how important\, nuanced and exciting it can be and gave me the “words” to use and showed me how to “speak” them with physicality. Jay as a teacher is like a clown’s never-ending scarf bit. I’m not sure how he keeps pulling more and more interesting stuff out of his pocket\, but there seems to be a never ending supply of it. James L. 9/18 \nJay reminded me that physicality is the foundation of performance and he gave me the tools to get there! Randal F. \nJay was warm and welcoming. He was thoughtful in his planning and presentation. I really enjoyed getting to know him and learning more techniques to bring physicality to my practice. Theresa W.
