WHAT’S THE LIFC?
The Ligue d'improvisation franco-colombienne is offered by the Conseil jeunesse, in partnership with the CSF, to students of the Conseil scolaire francophone, aged 14 to 18. During an improvisation tournament, teams of students compete in intense, funny and surprising matches. Using their creativity and spontaneity, participants improvise stories, characters and situations based on randomly selected topics.
LIFC objectives
Develop oral expression skills: Improvisation is a powerful tool for improving oral fluency, self-confidence and the ability to adapt quickly to new situations. Encourage teamwork: Improvisation is above all a team effort, in which teammates need to be in sync to create harmonious, entertaining scenes. Reinforcing the spirit of healthy competition: Teams compete in a friendly tournament where each match is a chance to show off your talent, but also to laugh together and share a unique moment.
How does the tournament work?
Team formation: Students form teams of 4 to 8 members. If some participants do not have a team, it is possible to integrate teams to complete. **Before entering the tournament, each team takes part in improvisation workshops led by professionals. These sessions help develop specific techniques: character creation, staging, stress management, etc. The tournament: Over the weekend, teams compete in matches (qualifiers, semi-finals and finals) with a referee who draws lots to determine the topics, then the players improvise short, often humorous scenes in front of an audience.
THROWBACK ON 2025 EDITION
The 2025 edition of LIFC & Crescendo brought together 52 talented young talents from all over British Columbia for three intense days of coaching, workshops and artistic creation.
🎭 LIFC - The Francophone Improvisation League brought together 6 teams from across the province to compete in spectacular improvisation matches. After several coaching and preparation sessions, the young improvisers were brilliant on stage, blending creativity, speed and humor.
🌟This year, the performers had the unique opportunity to be mentored.e.s by bilingual singer Missy D. Her energy, talent and commitment left an inspiring mark on this edition.
The adventure ended on a high note, with the semi-final and final matches of the improvisation tournament at the Théâtre de l'Alliance Française** in front of an audience of 160. The competition was intense, full of twists and turns. The Northern team (Powell River / Prince George) won the cup! 🔥🏆
