Inbal Lori
Welcome to the world of Inbal Lori: actress, writer, coach, director, and improviser extraordinaire!
Hailing from Israel and now based in Berlin, Inbal has been immersed in various artistic endeavors since 2000. However, it’s in improvisational theater where she finds the greatest artistic freedom. Here, she crafts theater pieces in the moment, inventing something out of nothing.
In 2010, Inbal embarked on a journey of coaching improvisation to professional actors, amateurs, and businesses worldwide. Her travels have taken her to the U.S.A, Canada, Australia, and numerous European cities such as Paris, Oslo, Stockholm, Prague, Vienna, Lisbon, Bucharest, Helsinki, and beyond.
Through years of coaching, Inbal has come to realize the transformative power of improvisation tools in enhancing communication skills, fostering relationships, and boosting charisma. With this insight, she made the move to Berlin in 2015 to apply this knowledge in both artistic and business realms, which she refers to as “Human Communication.” And let me tell you, she’s loving every second of it!
