Courses May-June 2026
We currently offer three different types of public improv courses that will be running for 6-7 weeks in May and June 2026. They are held in-person in Reykjavík, Iceland (101 and 107 area). Our venues are wheelchair-accessible – just please let us know in advance.
We offer a FREE first session for all beginners who have not taken part in an Improving Playfully course before. All you need to do is register to secure your spot.
No problem! If you miss any of the classes due to your work schedule, travel or illness, you can make up for any missed sessions by visiting another group!
Shouldn’t be a problem either! If you cannot make it to the try-out session, but still want to join the course, please write to teja@improving-playfully.com.
