HELENA LINDEGREN
Grew up in Ålund, a tiny village in the north of Sweden, actually not too far from Camilla's hometown. Has worked as an actress for about 10 years at different theatres, mostly playing scripted theatre. Discovered improv in the beginning of her carreer and has always played improvised shows part time, mostly with the group Sälteatern.
The last two years she has worked at Stockholms Improvisationsteater as a full time improv actress. Participated in the Improv World Cup in Germany 2006 as a member of the Swedish national team. The 6th of April 2009 she gave birth to her son Bill, so now she spends her days making up silly songs and trying to prevent the evenings from turning into total disasters. Business as usual in other words.
A selection of improshows:
At Stockholms Improvisationsteater: Personakt, Oxfiletjuvar togs av polis, Sigtunagatan Social Club, Bakgatan, Den Improviserade Schlagerfestivalen.
