INBAL
Lori

I am Inbal and I have been involved in many artistic projects since 2000. Originally from Israel. Now based in Berlin.As a performance artist, I find I achieve the biggest artistic freedom by combining all my skills into improvisational theater. There I create a theater piece in the moment as I invent something out of nothing.

In 2010  I started coaching  improvisation to professional actors, amateurs and business companies all over the world. My coaching and performing have taken me to the U.S.A, Canada, Australia and many places in Europe like Paris, Oslo, Stockholm, Prague, Vienna, Lisbon, Bucharest, Helsinki and more.
