Improvapalooza is right around the corner (Aug. 21-25), and we are looking for an amazing group of folks to help plan it! Interested in joining the Palooza Planning Committee? Please fill in the below form by Sunday, June 2 at 11:59 p.m.

Part Petri dish, part play-date, and part pizza-party: Palooza is a chance for improvisers to play with their wildest and most experimental ideas all with an appreciation for taking creative risks. The programming for Palooza is traditionally curated by a team of creative leaders who enjoy:
*setting priorities and shaping the event's artistic programming,
*organizing and managing necessary logistics,
*setting the scheduling, and
*communicating with players.

This is all done in tandem with WIT staff, but we try to leave as much control as possible in the hands of the team.

By soliciting applications we’ll attempt to recruit a planning team that includes players, teachers, students, volunteers, etc. from the WIT community. We’ll try to balance people with planning experience with those who are new to it. We cannot say in advance how many people from any given category will comprise the team, since it will depend on who applies.

Being a part of the planning committee often requires several shorter planning meetings (about 2 hours in length), as well as one giant meeting (about 4 to 5 hours) where decisions are hashed out. These meetings take place in early June through early August. Depending on the role, it also requires some at-home work, ranging from physically scheduling the whole festival to planning the after party.

This year we are also looking at having a more hands-on role pre-submissions, to help answer questions of would-be submitters and help get their submissions into tip top shape.

Questions? Please reach out to WIT Operations Manager Jordana Mishory at jordana@witdc.org.
