LUCKY DOG THEATRE at Bannam Place Theater
Cast: Joya Cory, Karen Hirst, Fritzi Schnell, music: Yehudit
"Welcome to Improv Theater where you will witness the birth of new artistic history. If we could use few words to describe this fantastic female group we could call them GODDESSES. Yes, in reality that is what they are: Goddesses of Creation. Their improvised scenarios are conceived and practiced with such eccentric passion that one finds oneself literally on the edge of one’s seat. But then, you yourself, will help them create the scenarios by merely offering a one word suggestion when the director asks “What’s concerning or inspiring you?” One or two audience members prefer to participate in a “hands on” way and sculpt the artist by moving her limbs to kick start the creative process. It’s hard to visualize how this strange and amazing tactic works, but it does. From here we’ll leave it up to your imagination! It has to be experienced at Bannam Place Theater in North Beach to be appreciated. I suggest you run, don’t walk to the next show of Lucky Dog Theatre."

TESTIMONIALS:
"Joya's teaching is exceedingly balanced. She approaches improvisation as an art form, while using it as a tool for personal growth and exploration. She helps her students work as an ensemble, while holding each of us with great care and attention. She continuously acknowledges and builds on our
inherent strengths, while confronting and stretching our growing edges. Joya's feedback is compassionate yet precise, non-judgmental yet honest, aesthetically oriented yet psychologically empowering. This is not therapy, but I found the work to be deeply therapeutic.
An additional bonus: it is possible to participate in Joya's classes over a longer period of time. This really increases the safety level of the group, and ultimately deepens the participants' explorations. I say, if you have even tiniest impulse to give Joya's class a try, follow that impulse!"
