UW IMPROV CLUB
Jump in!
8pm-1am
Jump in, watch or be an audience member who yells out a suggestion. Join UW Improv Club in all sorts of improv games, similar to the hit show 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' and laugh together at the insanity we create and the inevitable bad puns that get made.
All ages welcome and no experience required!
WARNING: Laughter can cause serious side effects: like distorted bellies, peeing of your pants, snorting sounds, loss of reality, deep love for the person standing to your left, love of sloths, dangerous laughter rashes and dislocated funny bones. Also, no politicians allowed in this area, due to the lack of politicians having a sense of humour.
UW Improv Club cannot promise a bad time, and will not be responsible if you so choose to head the warning and enjoy yourself. UW Improv Group.
8pm-9pm UW Improv Group will be roaming
9pm-1am they will be setting up shop along Young St in the Young Condo's Hub.
The UW Improv Club is all about having fun and making stuff up! We meet once a week to play all sorts of improv games, similar to the hit show 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' and laugh together at the insanity we create and the inevitable bad puns that get made. We also form a competitive team every semester which focuses on more advanced improv techniques and building stronger scenes. This team also travels to other universities to compete in improv competitions (including one we host right here in Waterloo)! We've also recently started holding workshops to teach some of these skills, so people can confidently create hilarious and entertaining scenes. If you're interested and want to know more, check out our facebook page! Our club did this a few years back, but I'm pretty all those who were involved have since graduated, so this is going to a be new experience for most of us and we're super excited about it! (So the club has technically been involved with the SLF before, but its current membership hasn't)

Listen to the Colour! Memorizing!
8pm-1am
LIVE PROJECTION
lightsweetcrude is a multi-faceted project in the tradition of the collectives, and what curator/art historian Adam Lerner calls "hybrid forms" of the psychedelic era. The project's origin involved a mandate to fuse North Indian ragas with Western forms, and has evolved from those musical roots to find the projection of "colour" - the definition of the Sanskrit root verb for "raga" - and an exploration of its effects on human beings, to be a going concern.

Hosted by Hold The Line Festival
8pm-1am
We at Hold the Line are all for getting creative when it comes to city planning within the boundaries of the Countryside Line, and we want to see how creative you can be, oh citizens of Waterloo Region!
Equipped with (1) a giant Etch A Sketch, (2) a heart full of YOLOs, and (3) the use of a single line, can you help us design our new logo as we gear up for this year's festival?
Hold the Line is a small 'nonprofit-that-could' made up of artists, community builders, sustainability advocates, and Waterloo Region enthusiasts. We love the farms, towns, and natural spaces that make up our countryside, and the walkable shops and restaurants that make our downtown cores exciting places to work and play. Our purpose is to celebrate the Region of Waterloo's history of protecting our farmland and environmentally sensitive areas by protecting the integrity of the Countryside Line, the border that delineates the extent of development and urban sprawl. We truly believe that a stronger line means more vibrant cities, more delicious food, and better living!
