Vintage Improv Festival

For improvisers 50+

VIF 2018

VIF 2018

VIF is September 13-15.

Submissions for teams and teachers will begin soon on ImprovNetwork. Our PayPal and bank accounts have to communicate before we can make that happen.
 
Submissions for solo improvisers will occur directly on this site once we get PayPal integrated because ImprovNetwork isn’t set up to help us with solo improvisers. Please solo folk, find a video of you performing somewhere with any group you wish. We anticipate lots of people will be interested in this and having a video is really important. If you were at VIF last year or at NEMIX at ImprovBoston, you may certainly use those videos.
 
To answer another question about the curated teams, this year, if you are on a team that is performing, it is still possible to be placed on a curated team as well. You just need to submit as a solo improviser in addition to the team submission. We are going to try to have some areas of focus for the curated teams with 2 full workshop/practice sessions to practice as a team!
 
Another awesome thing is that we have submitted an application for 501(c)(3) status so wish us well!
 
And finally please like Vintage Improv Festival on FB and share this website with everyone you think might possibly be interested!
 
I’m off to commune with Vikings this week in Reykjavik and hopefully by  the time I return PayPal and the bank will have established an intimate relationship so we can start this exciting VIF submission cycle. Miki

SAVE THE DATE! SEPTEMBER 13-15

I am so thrilled to announce that VIF is confirmed for September 13-15 2019!

We are working fast to finalize some infrastructure including this website, a 501c3 filing and negotiating with our venue regarding specific space requirements.

By the beginning of April, if not sooner, I will be sending out requests for workshop leader submissions. Not long after that the submissions for Team and solo improvisers will be posted.

If you haven’t already liked the Facebook page Vintage Improv Festival, please help us out! And spread the word far and wide. My goal for this year is to have submissions from every state in the union and at least 5 Canadian provinces and 3 other countries!

New this year is a longer, hopefully more leisurely festival. Oh we will be busy and you can stay the whole day and get your improv fix. But because we will be offering workshops over 2 full days, you can build in some spaces during the day to explore a bit.

New this year is the opportunity for non-performers to take workshops and be part of the festival. We will offer Festival passes that include varying numbers of workshops as well as admission to shows.

Also, for you solo improvisers, we plan 2 full sessions to work with your team and director and will be offering some special focus teams-perhaps narrative, music, BAT…time and resources will tell.

ImprovBoston is undergoing a major restructure and will not be producing any festivals this year so I am making the bold move of, as encouraged by Nick Armstrong , just going for it! IB is still supportive and I will work with them to try to ensure some cross pollination of talent and possibly a show.

All I know is I have already received a ton of encouragement and support from multiple sources and I thank you all. More soon! Yeah Vintage!!!!
