The late-night programme takes place at Klub NRD (Browarna 4, Toruń). Wednesday's improjam is the festival 'before'; the rest are the nightly afterparties.
improjam
host: Alan Szymula
As every year, the festival opens with a 'before' in the shape of an improjam. Come along, drop your name into the bowl of destiny, let yourself be drawn, and jump into the short-form improv led this year by the wonderful Alan Szymula!
Impro LED Riot
host: Iwo Wieczorek
What happens when a machine decides how the show unfolds? 🎰 IMPRO LED RIOT is a performance in the classic style… without a script. IMPRO. TWIST? Two huge wheels spin on the LED wall, a drum selects the improvisers, and one big button oversees it all: RIOT! The wheel decides — a scene? voice-overs? a lecture? or perhaps a full-blown game show? No plan C. No retakes. Whatever comes up — that's what we play. 🎭 The same show will never happen again, because the wheel never spins the same way twice. 💛
Hyde Park
host: Reszort
Hyde Park is the JO! festival's small stage. Every year it hosts short sets by improvisers who are about to take the impro scene by storm! Come and watch legends being born! (and Jerzyk Wierzbicki)
Impro Music Jam
host: Rysiu
Sung improv backed by a live band put together by Rysiu — need a rock backing? jazz? blues? niche Scandinavian ambient? None of it fazes them, so get up on stage and focus on giving your lyrics a leg to stand on... or at least a few fingers!
Festival farewell chill afterparty
Time for packing, reminiscing, and waiting for trains, cars, planes... The festival is already over, but let's linger in it a few minutes more... until NRD closes. And before that, of course, we can already book our room for next year...
