Teachers
GIZEM ERBAS
Gizem Erbas, a.k.a. Giz, started her acting career when she was 6, just to wear the princess costume in a school play.
After years of doing scripted theater, she discovered the unscripted universe of improv in 2013, and has never memorized a single line since. She continues to live every day as if on stage, ready to "YES, AND" every suggestion.
Her mission? To ensure that the whole world experiences the sheer delight of hearty laughter.
SHAWN FISHER
As a young boy Shawn spent copious amounts of time in his imagination. When he discovered improv it felt like gaining the super power to make the imagination reality.
As an improviser he loves to treat a scene like a poem or a dance that has rhythm and includes dynamic changes. For him, improv is the act of using collaborative play to create art.
If you see him in the wild, he will most likely be dancing whether or not there is any music.
MAURA BELLINI
Caught up in her ok- ish life, Maura had totally given up on the sparkle when she came across improv.
A Storytelling addict with a sharp sense of (dark) humor, she’s here to show you how creativity and fun can transform your world. Improv has fueled her passion for playful rhymes and songs. With Maura, it’s all about no-stress, laughter, connection and imagination.
If you meet her roaming in an infamous bar at 5 am, you’re wrong: she fell asleep at 10!
JAVIER PASTOR
Legend has it that Javier Pastor fell into the Improv kettle when he was little. Since that moment, he has developed certain mutations that allow him to bring together fun, freaky structures and the ability to play. Lover of board games and entertainment dealer. If you like water, you’re in luck, because then you already like him 70%.
SIMONE ELLUL
Simone started out as a serious, classically-trained actress and director. However, she then discovered how much fun the improvisers next door were having, so she knocked at the door and now refuses to leave!
Her favourite type of improvisation is grounded, theatrical improvisation that digs deep into characters and relationships and explores the intimacy between them.
When not on stage, she can be found… nowhere. What do you mean, when not on stage? What does that even mean? Life is a stage, there is no life without theatre (or drama!) in it.
PIERPAOLO BUZZA
Big time Improv nerd with a passion for storytelling, dramedy, discovery, emotions, geeky Improv tools, villains, noir done well, pure and utter silliness, connections at all levels, and an active dislike for musicals.
He spends most of his free time winning imaginary arguments in his head.
Shows
All shows are 10€ for the entire evening. 5€ if you’re a participant to the BruShu.

FRIDAY, NOV 1st
tickets here
19.30
Coffee Brecht from Naples - RIPPLES
Format of short stories inspired by whatever is there!
20.10
El Club De La Impro from Madrid - WHAT IF…?
We have all asked ourselves at some point in our lives “What would have happened if...?” What If... is a format inspired by the physical laws of causality and shows us how a small variation can trigger endless diverse events. We are in the realm of the butterfly effect, of parallel universes, of alternative plot lines. Cause and effect. Breaking routines. What will happen if you miss it?
20.50
Mixer show
ABSTRACTING THE MOMENT
A staccato rhythm of music, movement, poetry, and improv that explores what exists in between our words, our feelings, and our ideas. And what scenes exist in between our ideas, our feelings, and our words.
SATURDAY, NOV 2nd
tickets here
19.30
Vienna Sprouts from Vienna - THE DOUBLE DORF
The most exciting event of the year is fast approaching in this small dorf in the middle of who-knows-where! However, as with all small-town events, there are always rivaling communities, families, or groups that have their own methods and ways to get ready. When the day of the celebration arrives the question is: will it end in marriage, murder, or mania?
You choose the event, we build the town, and together we find out what happens!
20.10
Mixer show - TAMBOURINE
Improvised musical put together in a day, directed by Maura Bellini and Marco Biondi (Naples)
20.50
TEACHERS SHOW: Stories Once Personal
Our personal lives are a huge inspiration for us on stage and in this show we are willing to share them with the audience. The audience is encouraged to give us topics they would like us to talk about, be it our first love, a scar, our deepest fear… these stories will then inspire scenes in a back-and-forth conversation with the audience where we share different moments of our lives.
SUNDAY, NOV 3rd
tickets here
19.30
Impro Nation from The Hague
ImproNation will proudly present not 1, but 2 shows!
Organic Montage: We will bring you a series of scenes all connected by a single, evolving idea, where transitions occur seamlessly without warning. Prepare to witness the magic of ensemble work at its finest, where ideas flow like a river, creating a dynamic journey of shared imagination.
The Living Room: Do you love the camaraderie of hanging out with friends and sharing genuine stories? We do! And we're inviting you to our hangout where you will witness our authentic selves and memories, all to be turned into fun scenes. 100% improvised, 100% based on true stories.
20.10
Mixer Show - ONIRIA
Oniria transports us to that thin line that separates reality from dreams. A journey to that intangible and ethereal world that we have all traveled through both asleep and awake. Songs, images, memories, routines, shapes, drawings... are some of the elements that will help us configure our particular universe. Do you dare to dream with us?
20.50
Impro Brussels from… yeah ok, Brussels - THE APARTMENT
There’s an apartment where many families live, neighbors by causality and by choice, each one with their own peculiarity. To what extent will they get on each other’s nerves? Will love blossom on the staircases?
