Tonight's lineup is:
ImprovScape:
ImprovScape brings improv to the arts communities of Baltimore! Each show, a specially designed cast of HIghwire’s improvisers meet with a local artist. We interview them, see their work, and turn their art, inspirations, history, and commentary into hilarious improv!
This month's guest is Jessy DeSantis (they/them): Raised in a Nicaraguan household in Miami, FL and now residing in Baltimore City, Jessy DeSantis is a self-taught, queer artist and single parent creating deeply meaningful, vibrant work. Inspired by nature, food, family, and their Central American roots, Jessy uses their paintings to reclaim the cultural and ancestral teachings lost to colonization, displacement, and migration. Beyond their visual appeal, each piece carries intention and stories of heritage and truth. Through their art, Jessy seeks to pass on these complex narratives to their community, children, and future generations
What is an improv show, exactly?
Improv is live theater created spontaneously by the performers with the inspiration of the audience. Unless noted otherwise, it’s a comedy show, made even more exciting, intriguing, and hilarious by the fact that none of it is pre-scripted! At an improv show you’ll see a wide range of creative and fascinating humans perform a highwire act by making comedy out of thin air! It can take many forms, including short competitive games, slice of life scenes, and full length sitcom or movie style performances!
A Highwire Improv show is truly a once in a lifetime performance, never done before and never to be done again!
