review
". . .a refreshing take on the traditional, fusing
kinetics, comedy, drama,
and music performed by noted Bay Area violin soloistYehudit. Each
performance is unique, with spontaneous tales emerging from a single word drawn

audience - hauntingly personal, hysterically funny, or downright provocative.

troupe led by longtime practitioner Joya
Cory. Cory, whose background is in dance,
acting, and improvisation, defines "full-spectrum" as
being different from the more familiar "short-form" comedy
improv; her troupe creates genuinely dramatic,
as well as comic, unscripted scenes. "We
don't do jokes," she
explained. . ."

a chance to bring their own meaning to the experience.

lively mix of humor and drama that is the hallmark of full spectrum improvisation.
