imp.

Hailing from New York City, imp. has been performing nationally since 2002, combining the inspirations of Commedia dell’Arte, Cirque du Soleil, Jacques Tati and Bill Irwin into their improvisation. In the course of a show, they play out several vignettes using as few words as possible, if any, instead communicating with action and emotion and expression and physicality, bringing audience members into the mix whenever possible. imp. always holds to its basic tenets of what makes a story and its characters engaging and how the body can be used more concisely to convey those ideas. Currently, imp. is converting some of their best vignettes to film.
