Winterfest 2018 presents
WFW - Physicality in Improv
with Ratas de Dos Patas
Sunday, January 12, 2020 at 2:00PM

Impro Studio
1727 N. Vermont Ave., #208
Los Angeles, CA 90027

Limited availability!

Using physicality, gesture, facial expressions, and silence, Ratas de Dos Patas will guide learners through exercises and scene work that will redefine what an improv scene can be. This interactive learner-centered experience will expand players' skills and create scenic opportunities with just one look. All levels and abilities welcome!

Ratas De Dos Patas (RDDP) is a collective of four badass boss women who have taken the Chicago improv scene by storm. Marilet Martinez, Kendra Jamaica, Jessi Realzola, and Abigail Piñon make up this fierce group, and they have been featured in Time Out Chicago, Chicago Sun Times, and Chicago Tribune.  They were nominated for Outstanding Improv Ensemble by the Alliance of Latinx Theatre Artists and performed in the Melanin Festival at Second City. RDDP performed to a sold-out crowd at Steppenwolf's Lookout Series: Las Locas presents Look Out for Locas! and have had five successful runs at the Annoyance Theatre in addition to Chicago performances at the Bentwood Festival at iO, Chicago Funny Women Festival (Stage 773), the Compass Festival (STL), and they were part of the Chicago Women's Funny Festival's very first all-Spanish speaking slot. Performances also include a sold-out Dia De Los Muertos show combining cultural ritual with improv, a Loteria-themed fundraiser for the Chicago Period Project, and Laugh for Love, a fundraiser for RAICES.

Ratas De Dos Patas intentionally curates their weekly shows to feature POC, LGBTQ and differently-abled performers. They have performed and taught workshops in San Francisco and Austin, TX.  Later this year they will be producing their first sketch show inspired by la reina Selena Quintanilla.  You can follow their journey on Instagram (@ratas_de_2_patas) and Facebook.
