Speed Date Pitching
The objective of this activity is to create a space for feedback and exchange of ideas for new projects in Impro, such as: shows, workshop ideas, festivals, jams, etc. The activity will take place on July 24, 2024 from 14:00 to 17:00, separated into 3 sessions of 1 hour each (from 14:00 to 15:00, from 15:00 to 16:00 and from 16:00 to 17:00), with speakers in English and Portuguese.
​
​Each person will have up to 3 rounds of 15 minutes (each round with a different person) to enjoy their "Speed ​​Date", in order to pitch their idea and receive feedback, recommendations and inspiration from the person listening to them . Every 15 minutes, the bell will ring and people will rotate seats to share their idea with someone else. Each person manages what to do with their time, respecting the finish bell signal and changing position in the rotation.
