A huge thank you to everyone who came to our performance on Sunday at @minnow.arts . It was such a sweet honor for us to collaborate with a local gallery showcasing incredible visual artists from the Bay. Thank you for being with us in the absurdity, laughter, chaos, and joy! Minnow Arts is also having an artist talk this Sunday, April 26th at 4pm - don’t miss it!

Tonight at Minnow Arts. What happens after you look at a piece of art? How does your body change in response to what it sees? Almost Romantic Improv Group took the works in the Second Skin exhibition and gave them a physical second life. They used the objects in the gallery as the starting point for a completely improvised performance in spirit with the @rippleartsfestsantacruz . One creative act sparks another. Thanks to everyone who watched these amazing humans turn static art into a living reaction tonight. The ripple effect continues—join us at the @rippleartsfestsantacruz Grand Finale at the Grove to close it all out April 26. Minnow Exhibition Details: • Second Skin show on view through the end of the month (Wednesdays 1pm-5pm; Weekends 2pm-6pm) with artists @raythomander @joanneisthewang @danielle_n_peters @penelopelenaerts 🖼️ #SecondSkin #MinnowArts #RippleArtsFestival #AlmostRomanticImprov #SantaCruzArt Improv

The @rippleartsfestsantacruz starts today! 10 days of art, performance, and more throughout Santa Cruz. We are stoked to be performing at @minnow.arts in collaboration with their current exhibition “Second Skin”, a group art show featuring several Oakland-based visual artists. We’ll be performing an improv-based piece inspired by the artwork, followed by a small reception and discussion. Sunday, April 19th at 6pm at Minnow Arts gallery. Hope to see ya!

Little kids love us. And what better barometer for imagination, play, creativity (and maybe some absurdity) than kiddos? If the kids like us, you will too. Trust the kids. We are performing at @minnow.arts on Sunday, April 19th at 6pm! Bring the little ones!

Remember us??? We’re your favorite improv group, and life is basically improv, so that probably means we are just your favorite group. We have a performance coming up along with TWO class-takeover workshops! Hope to see you at one, two, or all three. Stay silly, stay whimsical, stay wise.
