What happens when storytelling and musicality collide in improvised theatre?
VANG / ECHOES is the performance series of Improv Atelier 2026, a residency program by The Improv Hub, where storytelling and musicality meet to spark new worlds onstage. Each moment inspires the next, like an echo ('vang' in Vietnamese) that grows, shifts, and transforms through the artists who receive it.
Improv Atelier 2026 brings together 4 international artists, each with their own mastery of improvisation. Besides the training and workshops at The Improv Hub, all shows and showcases of the VANG / ECHOES series are performed at the ATH Theatre.
David Moncada, known for his cinematic storytelling and expertise in Soundpainting, creates vivid scenes that unfold like films before your eyes. Pilar Cabrera, singer and songwriter, brings a deep sensitivity to voice, breath, and presence to unlock vocal expression, emotional range, and confidence beyond spoken text. Timothy Yeo, with his rich experience in narrative musical improvisation, transforms moments into stories with melody and harmony. Zsaris, a music producer and songwriter, brings a contemporary edge, turning sound into living, breathing narratives.
The first weekend (10 & 11 Jan) features original improvised performances by our 4 invited artists. The second weekend (17 & 18 Jan) showcases the Atelier Ensemble, presenting the collective work they created over two intensive weeks of training and collaboration.
