Truth or tall tale? You decide.
In Pants on Fire, Canadian improv veteran Shawn Kinley invites you into a world of surprising stories—some true, some entirely made up. Through recognisable themes and shared experiences, performers spin believable lies and unbelievable truths, and it’s up to you, the audience, to figure out who’s fibbing.
Think you’ve got a good poker face? If you manage to spot the liar, you might even get the chance to take the stage and tell your own tale—with a prize in store for the best bluff.
A playful evening of connection, curiosity, and creative deceit… all in good fun, of course.
About Shawn Kinley
For almost four decades Shawn has been asked to teach in 54 countries using Improvisation theory in Science, the Arts, Business and numerous other fields. Memorable visits include Universities in Oxford and Cambridge, a roofless rehearsal building in Peru, the National Theatre of Iceland, Norway’s National Opera, a Favela in Brazil, palaces in Germany, circuses in Poland and Colombia.
Shawn’s home base is Canada which he is rarely in. He works with people in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Australasia and Africa 9 months of the year.
Broadly speaking, Shawn teaches workshops and performs. He is passionate about the education process, how we think and engage each other on and off stage.
More specifically Shawn engages performers, businesses people, health care professionals, education experts, scientists, toy-makers, dancers, psychologists and even the military in various forms of improvisation and movement to make their world a little better.
“There are no boundaries to the possibilities of ideas, especially improvisation based ideas that push us to take risks, question limitations, develop a broad array of skills, create and grow”
Shawn’s work has impact in education, group dynamics, awareness in human behaviour and creativity to name just a few.
“With improvisation as a base, more and more groups are recognising the worth of a flexible mind-set that responds to a world that changes faster than business plans and curriculums. Adapt, respond, innovate, expand possibilities.
