The organization of the Salento Improfestival is carried out by Improvvisart, which is made of 50% Alessandra Villa (President) and 50% Fabio Musci (Artistic Director), who both found the cooperative in 2008. Alessandra started organizing events during university and she fell in love with Improv as soon as she met it.  Fabio also started organizing events during university and he never stopped. 

If you need advices about eating/dancing/get a tan during the Festival, you can ask to the Local Heroes, local improvisers. You will recognize them by their big smiles, their kindness and the “pasticciotti” they always carry in their pockets. 

During the Festival, after your training, you will have time to relax on the white Salento beaches or swimming in the fresh and crystal clear sea, just steps away from the Village where you’ll stay. If you want, you can sign in for the activities to explore Gallipoli and Salento, such as the boat trip from Santa Maria di Leuca, with drinks and good music until the sunset. 

Improfestival Salento provides funny relaxing moments and intensive theatrical workshops. In the last ten editions, we hosted so many national and international teachers that worked on performative arts, improv, singing and using the voice on stage, the body and contact improvisation, relationships and emotions, with a constant inspiration from the surrounding location and the sea.
