THANK YOU!

Thank you for SWIMP2026!

​

To everyone who came, performed, taught, worked, or simply shared this time with us – thank you for making this festival what it is.

​

For us, SWIMP is about creating a space that feels safe, fun, exiting and relaxed. A place where people can be themselves, take risks, and connect. A place for great art, big mistakes and big successes! This year, you all made that happen – whether you were a first-timer, a returner, our youngest or oldest improviser yet. You brought energy, openness, joy – and you filled the rooms with moments we’ll never forget.

We’ll miss the monsters’ mating calls, the overflowing workshops, that multilingual opera that had the theatre bar staff trembling.

The energy here is something you just had to experience – it’s impossible to fully recreate or describe to someone who wasn’t part of it (sorry for the total FOMO vibes; we want everyone to be there next time! – yes, Jens, especially you, after missing karaoke )

​

Organizing SWIMP is a labor of love. Thank you for being part of it. We’ll carry these moments with us, and we’re already looking forward to the next SWIMP.
