Utang Na Loob to Kusang Na Loob: Monthly Improv Drop-In Delight
Improv Workshop with J.O.W.Y
Embark on a journey of free will, spontaneity, and goodness with our "Utang Na Loob to Kusang Na Loob: Monthly Improv Drop-In Delight" series! Rooted in the Filipino cultural ethos of indebtedness turned spontaneous goodwill, this class is a celebration of the unscripted moments that bring joy and connection. Led by Jowy and guest improvisers, each session invites you to explore the essence of utang na loob (debt of gratitude) and kusang na loob (voluntary goodwill) through the playful and collaborative art of improvisation. Immerse yourself in scenes inspired by Filipino values, traditions, and everyday life, fostering a supportive space where laughter and creativity flourish. Join us each month to experience the magic of free-spirited improv and the shared goodness that arises when we say “Yes, and" to the beauty of the unexpected. Everybody is welcome and no experience necessary—just bring your open heart and willingness to explore the delightful world of Improv.

Jowy started his Improv journey in the 5th grade when he improvised a Hoedown about how much he hated his teacher at the time to impress his middle school crush. In 2015, Jowy found an Improv mentor who asked recently turned 21 year old Jowy to freestyle rap in front of a public audience with only 2 hours notice. From there, Jowy was the “Technical Specialist” for Speechless, volunteered nightly for a year straight in exchange for Endgames classes, finished Leela’s Musical Improv curriculum, and received a BATS Communities of Color Improv Scholarship. He’s performed in multiple Improv ensembles/House Teams over the years. Currently, he “competes” in short-form Improv in “Feed the God of Comedy” showing every other Friday at 7pm at Endgames Theatre. His very 1st Improv Workshop co-hort, Wrong Answers Serious Inquiries Only (WASIO), made a spectacular debut on stage in Bindlestiff’s “My Ancestors’ Worst Dream.”
