Improv teacher / coach and performer at Impro Neuf from January 2019, advanced classes from August 2019.
Attended festivals in Athens 2019, Oslo 2019 & 2022 and Copenhagen 2021. Been a A Chief of Finance and a member of Impro Neuf Board in 2021 & 2022.
During this time I have taken every possible workshop of the international and local improv teachers I had possibility to do. This included Aree Witoelar, Kevin Gow, Laura Doorneweerd-Perry, Joe Bill, Patti Stiles, Steen Haakon Hansen, Jay Sukow, Jonathan Pitts, David Razowsky, Jeff Michalski, Jason Shotts, Craig Uhlir, Andel Sudik, Susan Messing, Simen Hovd, Luana Proença, Will Hines, Dan O’Connor, Heather Urquhart, Jules Munns, Stephen Davidson, Feña Ortalli, Gael Doorneweerd-Perry, Katy Schutte, Chris Mead, Ali Farahnakian, T.J. Mannix.
I have been part of a coached mixer team called Freudian Slippers and performed regularly since our first show in June 2019. In the second semester of 2020, Freudian Slippers have been recognised as one of the show hosting teams. Freudian Slippers perform free style, Deconstruction format or a format developed by Kevin Gow - The Larry.
I am also part of a duo called Free Foxes together with Kevin Gow. It was formed in mid 2019 and been coached by David Razowsky and Annika Herrestad. In addition we have attended duo workshops led by Aree Witoelar, Jason Shotts, Patti Stiles and 12-week course by Chris Mead.
In addition to that in August 2020 I joined a coached team "Hee! Haa! Who are we?!" and enjoyed performing with the team looking for "the heart of the scene".
All three teams I am part of at the moment perform regularly long form improv sets.
During "the lockdown", I have engaged in taking international advanced classes with The Nursery theatre, Hoopla Improv, Andel Sudik, Joe Bill, Heather Urquhart, Jules Munns, Stephen Davidson, Feña Ortalli, Gael Doorneweerd-Perry, Katy Schutte and Chris Mead.
I have taken several one-on-one coaching sessions with Andel Sudik and worked individually with her on a solo improv show.
I have performed online during the lockdown by doing a show with Hoopla Improv and a duo set with Aree Witoelar and an international team "Emotionaly Distant".
I have also spend time exploring writer part in me during the last half of the year and have written a comedy sketch during a sketch course with Andel Sudik and at the moment I am working on a one person show during a course with Katy Schutte.
In addition to learning and performing improv, I have also been a jam leader and workshop teacher and Lvl 2 workshop coordinator within Impro Neuf - I have up until now taught Level 1, 2 and 3 both in Norwegian and English and Oslo Online Improv workshops.
