impro studio offers many ways to improvise one-to-one, with others and alone.
improvising 1-2-1
impro studio offers one-to-one sessions for everyone who wants to engage more creatively with their lives. We do this through exploring current topics, uncovering recurring patterns of stuckness, and by releasing emotional blockages to enable improvised flow.
This can take the form of coaching, mentoring, or free-form conversation. You may, for example, bring life questions you wish to examine, use this space to build on ideas for professional projects, or we can do some deep artistic soul searching.
​
We will use whatever creative tools are available and helpful to us in the moment. Perhaps we will doodle while talking or make a collage as a vision board. We might play an improv game or you can be guided through structured experiential activities.
Here, we practise holding ourselves lightly as we open up space for new choices to emerge. Together, we rediscover how to improvise in our day-to-day world.

How we might work together depends on what you are looking for. It could be open-ended with regular sessions, or we might meet only once to address something specific.
​
Sessions can vary from 45-90min online or on location. We can also go for a walk in nature.
Available languages are English, German and Dutch.
​
Improvisation is a creative process of connecting and relating within the living complexity of life here and now.
playing in groups
impro studio offers online workshops, events and courses where we practise improvising together. Our groups form big and small intimate spaces for playful exploration and mutual learning.
All our events are opportunities to discover who we are in relationship to each other. Be it through improvised storytelling, dynamic games or structured activities, in the group space we experience living improvisationally together.
​
A dance of the familiar meeting the unfamiliar, we come togther forming new connections. You can find out more about each type of offer on our events page.
solo journey
Personal practice time is a vital part of enhancing our improvisation skills. Alone-time offers space for sharpening our noticings, reflecting on our learnings, and engaging in repetitive practice.
​
Life often invites us to improvise. Something comes up, doesn't go according to plan or takes us by surprise. Even when we are on our own, we are never completely alone. We are embedded in our environments, interconnected and interdependent.
​
On this website, we provide you with support, ideas and inspiration for your solo improvisation adventures. We have a variety of writing, talks, and art to share, and hope to soon hear the stories of your very own improvised journey.
Once we recognise the patterns of our scripts and the conditions that uphold them, our shift in perception may enable a gap with an opportunitity for spontaneous transformation.
When we open our channels of perception we can notice invitations and challenges to play.
kids & youth
Children are natural improvisers. They improvise their entire existence by observing, copying and risking new shapes every day.
We love working with children, teenagers and young adults. Currently, Angelina offers 1-2-1 coaching and mentoring to young people from the ages of 10 to 18.
Topics might include building confidence in social interactions, public speaking and learning how to cope with uncertainty and change. We will make use of whatever creative materials are available for drawing, storytelling, and playful exploration.
​
1-2-1 work usually consists of 45 minute online or 60 minute in-person sessions in the family home. This depends on the young person's age, location and school schedule.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Conversations with Angelina are a unique state of flow, or maybe a ping pong - gentle and at the same time exciting discovery.
Her calming presence, authenticity and attentive listening encouraged me to open up and to explore more complex questions (...) with a sense of support and acceptance.
(...) Angelina embodies this philosophy in how whe shows up for every conversation.
— Renate Mikucevska
I had never done improv before in my life and the first time I tried it, Angelina was the teacher.
That was more than two years ago and I have not stopped!
She knows how to guide you to express yourself and stop being afraid of jumping on stage and going with the flow.
She definitely loves what she does and she is capable of transmitting that enthusiasm.
