ShiZi Pro
 Improv and friendshipWe are a company of ten professional actors, that perform every week longform improv in Sofia. So far we're the only company doing longform and we strive to grow as individuals and as a group of friends. |  The venueWe perform in a 125 seats stage on the main theater street in Sofia, which has 5 theaters with 450+ seats within a 10 minute walk. Additional standing audience is allowed, which could lead to up to 200 visitors. |  The crowdWe've been doing our main show: "Say Your Word!" for three and a half years, rarely in front of less than a full house. Our show is unique and we have a solid fan base. |
|---|---|---|
 OpeningThe group was founded by Zlatin, who always starts the show with a warm-up of the audience. |  The audienceThey love it... |  ReactionsWe focus on relationship based scenes and rehearse 3-9 hours a week, trying to get ahead of bad habits and improve our work. |
 Object workSince we started with no formal improv training, we focused on Viola Spolin's exercises and object work for few months. |  Two-person scenesFor the last year and a half we focus on relationship based scenes and experiment with new longforms. |  TraditionDue to the long theatrical tradition in Bulgaria, the audiences expect the shows to last not less than an hour... |
 Three parts...that's why our show consists of three parts. A scenic Harold, an Armando like middle part and a musical improv finale. |  KidsAs our acting professors used to say: "If you can hold the attention of kids, you're doing a good job!" |  Aren't we?We're all children, really... |
 We love what we doThank you for reading it all :) Hope to see you soon in Sofia :) |  ShiZi Pro"Shizi", means "schizo" and comes from Schizophrenia, though in Bulgarian, it's not connected to a disease, but rather means: "A person, that shows many contradicting behaviours and emotions." |  |
