Ben's Info
I’m the managing director and co-founder of Swaajp Improtheater in Antwerp (Belgium). We perform regular shows both in Dutch and English since 2014. I have been teaching improv for several years: both in the Swaajp School of Improv (in English), and with various groups in Belgium and abroad (Ljubljana, Karlsruhe). Since 2017, I’m a member of Commotie, a musical improv group in Leuven (Belgium) with which we won the Kemphanen 2017 longform improv competition in Ghent. I’m also part of the international cast of Werewolves, the improv show which was performed at the 2018 Lyon Improv Fest, Amsterdam Improv Marathon and Finland Improv Festival. As a passionate organizer, I started the Flemish Improv Marathon in 2017, a yearly 12 hour improv event filled with group shows and improv jams. I’m a founding member of The SIN, a European network for young, ambitious improvisers. Occupying myself with both theatre acting and music from a young age has definitely shaped me as an improviser up to the point that I now also play percussion for improv shows.In October 2018 I will start as a full-time freelancer combining improv theatre with science communication under the company name Erlnmyr.
