    Maria Alves Tobias<\/h2>\n

    Maria Alves Tobias grew up in a low-income neighborhood in Sa\u0303o Paulo, Brazil. Her childhood was marked by poverty and inequality. She found solace in filmmaking, using her camera as a tool to shed light on her community’s struggles.

In improvisation, whatever comes out of us, if it is in music, dance or prose, is a true and raw reflection of the inner self, which is why Jazz and the other improvisational arts are so engaging, and why they resonate with audiences so deeply. Simply put, people both recognize and appreciate that which is real.
    \n\u2018Improvisa\u2019 was born from real life experiences in improvisation workshops and working with actors while improvising scenes. In the film, Lisa, who is usually reserved and timid, is encouraged by the improvisation exercise to “let loose” which her controlling partner does not appreciate. The workshop quickly leads both Lisa and Michel to expose their true thoughts and feelings, both to themselves, and to each other. Seeing each other for who they are, perhaps for the first time, leads the two to recalibrate their feelings towards each other and reconsider their relationship.
