Our existence is Improv-ing

Improv is making a name for itself at Carleton.

Besides a rocky first show and not really picking up our heels when it comes to getting out there, the Carleton Improv Association is finally coming into it's own.

Suffering from relative obscurity outside of our friend groups, the Improv Association is a hard thing to find if you don't know where to look. We're not an official CUSA club and so don't appear on the official list of clubs and societies at Carleton. Despite this, things are looking up.

The CIA will finally be on the Co-Curricular Record website which will allow members to add us to their transcript, and it will make us easier for other people to find. Membership has increased by 4 in the past 2 weeks which is an increase of almost 25%.

Aside from our regular shows (which I mean to make happen every month from now on) the Improv Association has enjoyed a brief but fun and enlightening experiment in merging Improv and Architecture. This experiment may prove to change the way our shows are conducted from now on.

The CIA is also enjoying two new positions: Vice President - External and Videographer. These positions are as of yet unfilled but recognition will be made in the near future. Do not be surprised to see advertisements around campus shortly.

As always Improv is a blast even just in practice, and I encourage everyone to come and try their hand. If not come check out our shows, each one different and more interesting than the next.
