Sensible Suffering.

 
Hey Toronto, this Thursday we will be debuting what we hope to be a somewhat regular improv show with some of our favourite improvisers. A Sensible Gathering will featuring a double bill with brand new improv group, Big Fella. Their group may be new, but the boys involved (Mark Little, Kyle Dooley, Conor Holler and Craig Anderson) are so cool, accomplished and good at stuff.
 
Plus, the amazing Kathleen Phillips is our special guest!
 
And since we booked this show on relatively short notice, we decided to make the price of admission a cool toonie! That price will not last. So git while the gittin's good!

Bookings for Spring 2013.


Hello Friends,

The Sufferettes have been hibernating (ie. doing tonnes of separate projects for a few months). But now we are making plans, like all hearty Canadian girls, to come out of our caves in the spring. We have some exciting booking in Europe and elsewhere to announce soon but we also have a little room left in our 2013 European tour. Want to bring us to your town? This might be possible.
Please send all inquiries to us here. We shall travel far and wide to bring our message of suffering, fashion and dance to the corners of the Earth!

Love,

Becky & Kayla

Jealousy in Rochester.



Here is a scene we did in Rochester once. Being dressed like witches had basically nothing to do with it.

Parrott Eggs.


Submitted for your approval here is a great gift that we received from our friend Henk van der Steen from Amersterdam. When we were at the Improsante festival with him in Sarnen, we took great pleasure at listening to him say 'parrott eggs' in Dutch - a process that involved almost no closing of his mouth. very exciting, indeed.

We we asked for a recording for our own edification, he one-upped the request by playing with his new ipad a bit. We expect this will be the next dance hit to sweep Europe.

Würzburg Morning

It's Monday morning and I'm sipping on coffee the same colour as the rooftops outside the kitchen window. It's my day off and so far I've eaten some Nutella and read the first three pages of a book I'm sure I won't finish on this tour. I always think I'll read more than I do.

Becky is at Cairo, the culture house where we've been teaching in Würzburg. The last two days I spent my time working with an amazing group of improvisers. My little heart was beating quickly Saturday morning as I walked up to the looming stone structure where we'd be spending our time. I know I can spend twelve hours with myself, but I couldn't imagine why anyone else would. My fears disappeared after the first hour when I realized that even though we didn't all share the same mother tongue, we did all want to have a good time. Thank goodness for the deep fountain of positivity that can be improvisation. In the end, I felt really inspired by the work we did. It's been a pretty sweet beginning to the tour. It helps that our beautiful host, Nadine, has made us feel at home here.

Würzburg is really beautiful and today I will set out explore. My naive Canadian eyes can't get enough of the pastel coloured buildings that line the river just outside our bedroom window. They stand like polite old men, wearing bright sweaters their wives bought them. Despite the clouds that rolled in this morning (oh yeah, did you hear that Toronto? I wore a tank top to dinner last night!), I think I shall try and get lost in the streets today. Take that, Becky!
