Improvisation collective from imprology

   
           
Meet the Performance Poets Motor Club. They are confused, lonely and slightly boring. Only two things count in their life, poetry and motorcycles. Every week, they meet at a secret location to perform their work for each other. At last the skies open, colours came back to their eyes and, for a moment, desire rules the universe.

Next presentation at the Cockpit Theatre on March the 2nd 2010. Past shows include “Make-A-Wish Theatre Sports Cup” at the Cockpit theatre, April 2009, “Say A Word”, “Gibberish” and “The Dark Stuff” at the Clerkenwell Theatre, July 2009, and “The Performance Poets Motorclub” at the Space, November 2009.

Friendly Fire is an improvisation collective formed with actors, dancers, musicians and others. The name stand for the place of mass participation around which the first songs were sung, the first story told and the first theatre invented, some 200 000 years ago... It also stand for a blue on blue hit, when your mate accidentally shot you in the back.

We are continiously auditioning and practicing, taking-on new performers along the way. We train hard to work as an ensemble, accept other players ideas, take risks, let go of our fears and our need to shine. Then we take to the stage and taste audience laughter, the cocaine of improvisation. Blocking, gagging, sticking to old ropes, everything becomes fair game to get another fix... The company was named in memory of our roots and of all the amazing scenes killed in the nest to get a laugh. We try to do the opposite. Listening so much, caring so much and getting in such a state of synchronicity that it'd make a tree hugging hippie wana puke!
               

There will be some near misses and some plain failures. But the good stuff will be so good you'll love your mum even more for putting you on this earth!
