I went to see these guys last night and it was lots of fun, even though I know absolutely nothing about anime. I probably learned something about it yesterday, because this group does improv based on anime and I think I recognized some of the tropes -- like the hearts flowing from the sword -- am I right? I can't see when they next perform, but keep your eyes open because they do improvised stage fighting which is terrific and act out a story based on an audience suggestion with lots of energy and imagination. And of course, one of our Steveston London Theatre alums is a great part of the cast! The group has helped me rediscover the Havana which is a restaurant with a theatre in the back and you can have a bite to eat before or after the show and then see some improv, or standup or something different from the run-of-the mill theatre (not that you shouldn't see that, too!)
Okay, I'm off to see the Alberto Giacometti stuff at the Art Gallery -- even though I somehow wrenched my back reading Ice Cream Star. I feel like a very old woman walking along with my back bent and my arms swinging helplessly. Very pathetic. Help me across the street if you see me!
