Performances
Moving. Inspiring. Like nothing I’ve seen before. Those are the words we hear most often after our performances. And: You obviously really trust each other.
We create songs in the moment. Choreograph dances to music composed on the spot. Surprise ourselves with stories that tumble from our tongues. Using audience ideas as inspiration, Alligator Mouth Improv offers one-of-a-kind performances that can never be repeated.
Take a minute to check out our videos. If you can’t see us in person, it’s the best way to grasp what we do.
Black Box Theatres
Dressed in black, under minimal lighting, we step (or jump, or roll, or tiptoe) onto a bare stage and say yes to whatever comes. Our connection to the audience is palpable because they are risking with us. Everyone is along for the same ride, and we have no idea where that ride will take us.
Like our motto says: Come with no expectations; leave with a greater sense of what's possible. Read more here.
Performance Deli
What are you hungry for? An improvised story? A song composed in the moment? A dance created just for you? You can have it all at Performance Deli: Art Made to Order! When the deli debuted in an empty storefront in Corning, NY, in July 2009, it made quite a splash! Nearly 500 people came through the door during the seven days we were open. See news video from WENY-TV of the opening day or read a newspaper article published in the local paper. Interested in inviting us to set up a deli in your town? Read more, and see videos here.
Moving Possibilities
If you felt limitless, what would you do? That question is at the heart of the Moving Possibilities project. Designed to be performed outside where passersby are invited to stop and watch for a minute or two or stay for the whole hour, Moving Possibilities includes improvised movement and music, as well as poetry, visual art, and audience interaction. Perfect for street festivals, libraries, and any celebration of potential and possibility. Read more here.
