EWT will be relaunching the Acting Up! event on Friday, Aug 17 at the LPE
Networking Society at the Dongchang metro stop on line 2. We would like to
assemble 2-3 of teams of 4 improv actors (one preferrably Chinese speakers) to
do 2-3 sets of "Whose Line is It" style comic improv. There will be a couple of
preparatory rehearsals in the two weeks before the show. We intend for this to
turn into a monthly (or eventually bimonthly or weekly) event, which will also
feature special events such as staged plays, short scenes and monologues, as
well as possibly lectures or workshops on acting related topics. Actors will not
be paid, but it is hoped that this will lead to paying gigs providing
entertainment for corporate parties and bar events. To this end, we hope to
develop a group of 20-30 performers who can be drawn on at fairly short notice
to craft a performance to suit any occasion involving anywhere from 2-20
performers.

To find out more, please contact James Angrave, who will be helping me organize
this event (and the improv arm of EWT), and who has many years experience
organizing and delivering improv performances. James can be reached at:
15901647654 or xiyushanghai@.... Preference will be given to those with
previous improv experience, but we will try to involve everyone with any
interest to help develop their talent in this area for the future. Final casting
will probably be done at the first rehearsal, tentatively scheduled for sometime
during the week of Aug 6. Please provide James with your schedule constraints
for Aug 6 - 17 so we can try to find times that will best suit most people.

Regards,

Rob Tromp
