About this guy
Menelaos Prokos is an improviser based in Athens, Greece. His improv brain, though, developed in Austin, TX. After that, he moved back to his hometown, where in 2012 he founded ImproVIBE, the country’s first improv school and theater.
During the years of ImproVIBE’s operation he’s been teaching students, performing shows, training instructors and developing courses for all levels. He is also the producer of Mt Olymprov, Greece’s annual International improv Festival, that first took place in 2016 and quickly became one of the most preferred improv festivals in the world.
He is heavily involved in applied improvisation, working with companies from all around the world. Outside of Greece, he has taught/performed all over Europe, as well as USA, India and Colombia. His teaching primarily focuses on creating well-bonded teams that act natural, adding fun, inspiration and realism that comes directly from the heart, and pushing the students towards not being afraid to take the first step in anything they. He strongly believes in creating emotional improv with a purpose that goes beyond the quick joke and has impact, not just for the audience but for the performers as well.
When not swimming the improv seas, he spends most of his free time playing the violin, 3d printing, visiting escape room games and cleaning up the mess his dog makes.

Menelaos “do-it-yourself” workshop is practical, empowering, professional and super fun! It changed my perspective of how to start scenes, gave me practical tools and courage to do scenes alone and made me re-think about the whole “improviser ego” concept onstage, 2 years later I still remember the workshop and use a lot of the things I learned in it. Menelaos as a teacher in great! Super professional, attentive, make everyone feel at ease and stretch their boundaries, he is doing this with a lot of love and joy. Super recommended!

After many years of performing onstage, I must admit that I left Menelaos workshop with many new additions to my improv skillset. He is a gifted instructor, performer, and friend.
