Speed Date Pitching
The goal 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 2pm to 5pm, separated into 3 sessions of 1 hour each (from 2pm to 3pm, from 3pm to 4pm and from 4pm to 5pm).
In each 1-hour session, at least one person from the Irreverente Cast will be available for the activity.
​
Each person will have 15 minutes to enjoy their Speed ​​Date, in order to pitch their idea and receive feedback, recommendations and inspiration from the person who listens to it. 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 closing signal and changing position in the rotation.
Registration for Speed ​​Date Pitching will open on July 20, 2024, at 10:00 (Lisbon time) and close at 6:00 pm (Lisbon time) on July 23, 2024. Last minute applications will be accepted, if there are still vacancies at the time of the activity.
