Inspired by Major League Baseball's Free Agent list and a demand to get involved in improv teams, I am endeavoring to create (and maintain) a list of Improv Free Agents (in NYC).
This list will be comprised of experienced improvisors that are not affiliated with theatre house teams but would like to be considered for the creation of new improv troupes in the New York City area.
Many people have their own interpretation of the "experienced improvisor", but since it is important to have a common 'baseline' definition, the Improv Free Agent List will be comprised of improvisors that have completed at least two (2) Level 3 classes at the UCB theatre. This does not mean you MUST have trained at the UCB theatre in order to be on the list. If you feel you have the equivelent experience as one who has taken at least two (2) Level 3 classes at the UCB theatre, then specify and I will paste it into the Improv Free Agent list under the heading "additional info".
The main purpose of the list is to let others know that you are interested, available, and qualified to take on an additional improv endeavor. There are an ever-increasing number of people that fit this criteria and my hope is that this list may serve to prevent great improvisors itching to perform from falling through the cracks. I also hope that seeing a list of such great improv talent may motivate someone to act on his or her impulse to start an improv troupe and thereby taking the first step to satisfying his or her performance desires without depending on others to take the initiative.
So, if you want to be included on this list, please PM me with your Name (Last Name, First Name), some means to contact you that you don't mind being exposed to the public (email address, IRC screenname, ph #, etc.) and confirmation that you have completed at least two (2) Level 3 classes at the UCB Theatre.
If you have any questions re: the Improv Free Agent List, please feel free to post them here or PM me with them. I will post a link to the list on this thread as soon as the first version is available.
Have a nice day!
