Raiders of the Lost Art

KCI's Raiders of the Lost Art Improv Team

The Raiders of the Lost Art Improv Team was founded in late 2012 and competed in their first competetive season with the Canadian Improv Games (CIG) in the 2013/2014 season. The team, consisting of 8 members, plays four events in an evening of play and are awarded points on their spontaneity, risk, and ability in each event by a panel of judges. The Raiders of the Lost Art Improv Team is an audition based group. Read more about the format, rules, and events at the Canadian Improv Games.

THE 2019/2020 GOLD MEDAL IMPROV TEAM

WE DID IT!!! For the first time in our team's history, the Raiders of the Lost Art won the GOLD MEDAL at the 2019/2020 Tri-City Regional Tournament! We were beyond excited and honoured to be given the chance to represent our entire insanely talented region at the Canadian Improv Games National Tournament in Ottawa, but unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nationals had to be cancelled. Despite that disappointment of what could have been, the team, coached yet again by alumni Aodhan McDonald and Mr. Graham, had an incredible time playing these games with all of the teams and are excited to return to defend our title in the near future!

2019/2020 Team: Peter Andrews, Hannah Bousfield, Isabella Gudas, Emilya Hillwood, Justine Hodson, Noah Hryniuk, Zack Hunter, and Evan Mathis. Alternates: Victoria Armstrong and Adelaide Holmes

THE 2018/2019 RAIDERS OF THE LOST ART IMPROV TEAM

Our Raiders had another amazing season in 2018/2019! After tying for 4th place overall in the preliminary rounds at the Tri-City Region of the Canadian Improv Games (CIG) in Guelph, they qualified for finals where they took home a strong 4th place finish overall in one of the strongest and most competitive (and fun!) Finals in our CIG history. Coached by alumni Aodhan McDonald and Mr. Graham, the team had a phenomenal year and cannot wait to return next year with so many returning senior players!
