Mockingbird Improv September

A SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER…

Post-ImprovCon, many of us are feeling a bit wistful it’s over (and already looking forward to next year!), yet we possess a new gratitude for our extended improv community and renewed energy to connect and build. At Mockingbird Improv in San Diego we are so grateful for our cast, students, teachers, board members and patrons as well as the wider San Diego improv community and beyond. Our goals for the rest of the year are in focus and we are ready to get back to work developing our talent, creating new opportunities for people to experience improv and widening our circle of improv practitioners and fans. New classes are beginning in September and we have some great workshops to offer. We are also opening our stage to newcomers with our Fall auditions. We invite you to join us and help make this a September to remember!

VERY SPECIAL GUEST FOR MOVEMENT LAB: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3

Lucky students of the upcoming Thursday, September 3 Movement Lab will be encountering, discovering, and learning from the notorious “Diva of dance”, DeeDee Sinclair. Ms. Sinclair has appeared and taught at other improv theaters in the San Diego area before, but this is her first time gracing the floor at Mockingbird Improv. (Ms. Sinclair has been told she has an uncanny resemblance to our Artistic Director, Amber Largent, but she assures us it is purely coincidental.) Dress to move and be ready to engage your core emotions as this one-woman dynamo stretches your conception of what movement really is!

CULTURE HIGHLIGHT:
AADF2026: Becoming Asian American

As Asian Americans, we are continually navigating our identities, weaving together our ancestral heritage with our current-day lives. Through this festival, AAPI dance artists tell our stories of family, heritage, immigration, colonization, and assimilation. We remember the struggles and hardships of the first generations. We celebrate their resilience and triumphs. We recognize what we as Asian and Pacific Islanders inherit, and we uncover what we take on or let go of. We embrace our journey to become not just Asians and Pacific Islanders in America, but to become Asian Americans...finding our identity and place in this tapestry of cultures.
