About the Show
This show may contain adult language. ZineScene is an improvised performance by Katy Nuttman, and Ian Schempp. In a reversal of traditional improv shows, the audience is given a suggestion, and must create a drawing, doodle, poem, or other visual art piece on an 8.5x11 piece of paper inspired by that performance’s theme. The art is then collected, used as a jumping off point for scenes performed on the spot, then compiled and published in the underground art form of a zine. While most improvisational performances are lauded for their impermanence, and the exclusivity of only reaching one audience, ZineScene strives to create something tangible that celebrates the necessary collaboration between audience and performer. |
