The International Festival of Improv 

The 2008 Festival will feature improvisers from Australia, Austria, Belgian, Switzerland, Germany, Japan, Italy, Sweden, The Netherlands, Canada and the U.S. The participants are all long time improvisers and teachers themselves with this year's class featuring ten Artistic Directors.

Unexpected Productions is producing the Festival of Improvisation to allow groups from all over the world to share, collaborate, and exchange improvisational formats with each other in an educational environment.

Every year the festival has a theme that is used in the workshops and as an inspiration for the performances. Past themes have included JAZZ, Stereotypes and Clichés, Blurred Lines, Holding Up the Mirror, Body and Soul, and Taking It Personally.
