Bainbridge Improv Collective is a long-form improvisation company. Improv is a superpower that allows an exploration of self, flexibility of mind, and a practice of acceptance and support ("Yes, and..."). Our mission is to bring long-form improv to the community, both through teaching youth and community workshops, as well as including "Jams" after performances for adults and youth to participate on stage. About half of our members are the "Chive Mind," our youth performance team (10-18yrs old). We believe that giving children improv superpowers will protect their mental health as they develop, and we have heard from parents that it has, indeed, provided a sense of belonging. As improvisors, we are coming up with new ideas all the time, and we will continue to bring this amazing art to our community.
