Who is Anki?

Hi! I am Anki! :)

I come from Croatia, from one of the thousand Croatian islands. I moved to Munich, Germany in 2014 and this is where I am now. I am a kindergarten teacher by day and improviser in my free time.

My improv journey started in 2018 with a Munich-based improv community called Rice Cookie. It didn't take too long for this multiculti group to become my improv family. Since 2019 I am their regular moderator, and since 2023 one of the admins.

For several years I was a permanent member of The Blue Couch troupe which turned out to be a perfect combination of improv and friendship. Although I am no longer a part of the group, they still exist and going strong.

I was also a better half of the duo called No Scripts Attached. No, just kidding, Matthieu was/is the real better half.

Not only that I love improvising, I loooove teaching improv. Especially newbies where I focus my teaching on "attitude before skills".

During pandemic I was a guest-host for various improv online communities from all over the world.

From 2021 I am running Improvshine, an online place to meet, jam, connect, learn and have fun. I created one of the largest online improv jam, where even New Zealanders would wake up very early to attend. :) After two years of exclusive work online, Improvshine started to shine in person, especially in Munich by offering women only workshops and workshop for introverts.

In 2023 I established a women only improv community called Women of (improv) World (WOW) with the goal of empowering women to lead the life without hesitation and self doubt. In cooperation with Diakonie Moosach, I supported women refugees in learning German by using improv tools. This might have been the best experience of my life.

People usually use these adjectives when they refer to me and my work: supportive, encouraging, bubbly, nice, kind, funny, joyful, attentive, but also provocative, edgy, witty.. Here are some kind words colleagues and participants said about my work.

In those rare moments when I am not working or improvising or trying to survive my 10 year-old, I practice stand up comedy, hand-lettering while listening to indie folk music.
