On August 23 and 24, Georgetown Lit- tle Improv Club (GLIC) will host improv teams from across the GTA at their sixth annual End-of-Summer Show. Started in 2008, GLIC meets every Wednesday through the summer months, culminating in an End-of-Summer show- case. Every summer, GLICkers pay a mere $25 for membership in George- town Little Theatre, allowing them to join in the weekly summer sessions, learning the ropes of improv technique, but mostly having fun and laughing. Over the years, GLIC has formed a central company of 8-10 regular performers who can be seen at cor- porate gigs and public events, like the recent Georgetown Homecom- ing Weekend. This summer, GLIC has seen an infl ux of brand new people interested in the fi ne art of improvisation, from couples look- ing for an affordable date night activity to postsecondary students studying theatre. GLIC always welcomes new members with open arms, and this has been one of our best summers yet. A few years ago, we discovered Oakville Improv Theatre Com- pany, formerly Bad Dog Oakville, and their artis- tic producer Amy McK- enzie, a professional improviser. Since then, GLIC been invited to Oakville to participate in theatre sports- style competitions (and even won a few!) Earlier this year, GLIC became part of the nascent Improv Alliance, a loose affi l- iation of troupes across the GTA formed to promote the love of improvisation. Monthly, the Alliance teams take turns hosting an Alliance improv competition show. In addition to presenting our an- nual End-of-Summer show in August, GLIC will be taking its turn to host the Alliance. So, if you're looking for a cheap night of laughs and family-friendly entertain- ment from some of the best improvisers $10 can bring you, come out to see GLIC's Sixth Annual End-of-Summer Show and Improv Alliance Battle Royale at the GLT Studio at 33 Stewarttown Rd. on August 23 and 24. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. both nights, and as there is limited seating-- and we always sell out-- you may want to consider calling 905-877-3422 to re- serve your seats. Improv clubs to battle in end-of-summer shows, Aug. 23 & 24 By SAM HANCOCK Georgetown Little Improv Club Georgetown dancer Laura Flydorf is excited to start her world class profes- sional ballet training in September after being accepted into Canada's prestigious Royal Winnipeg Ballet School (RWB) professional division academic pro- gram. The RWB School Ballet Academic Program is a full-time, seven-level pro- gram. The regular session runs from September to June, in conjunction with the academic school year. Flydorf was one of fi ve girls to be ac- cepted after a one-month summer audi- tion in Winnipeg. The 14-year-old Cen- tennial Middle School graduate has been a member of the Center Stage School of the Arts in Georgetown for the past 11 years and has received her foundation in dance from the school's owners, Claudia Caicedo and Kelly Paddle. Flydorf attributes her success to not only the grounding in technique from Center Stage but the focus, discipline and competitive spirit she learned at the school which will support her in her life journey ahead. "I cannot imagine a life without dance; although it is a lot of work, and sometimes painful, it makes me happy and brings me joy. There are no words to decribe how I feel when I dance; it feels like it is something I am meant to do," says Laura. Her goal is to become a principal dancer for a company and then maybe teach at a ballet school associated with a company. The RWB School has become one of the most respected training institutions worldwide for talented students aspir- ing to become dance professionals. As of September 2013, former RWB School Professional Division students constitute 71% of RWB Company dancers, 58% of RWB School Professional Division staff and 50% of RWB School Recreational Di- vision staff. Graduates are also dancing, teaching and working as choreographers in companies and schools worldwide.
