💡 Meet the Facilitators

🔥 Sondre Jensen has been part of Impro Neuf for years, known for his calm presence and playful spark on stage. He is the founder of Krem de la nøff, a murder mystery improv team that has brought suspense, secrets, and unexpected twists to the stage. This semester, his improvised background music during shows has raised the bar for performances at Impro Neuf. His music creates atmosphere, supports the action, and adds emotional depth to scenes, helping to make every moment on stage feel more alive.

🔥 Eva Steffensen has been an active part of the Chateau Neuf community for just a few years but has already made her mark. She joined her first team, The Clap, in April 2024, performing in nine shows, including at international festivals. Beyond the stage, Eva has taken on roles as an MC, Food Fairy at the 2024 Oslo Impro Festival, and Christmas Gremlin at the Christmas special show. She currently serves as head of the election committee and representative for the Student Buddy association on behalf of Impro Neuf. She has also helped promote the community at events like Oslo Met’s stand and even appeared in the recent improvised commercial for teachers. Known for her bold choices and fearless approach to new challenges, Eva brings a sharp, adventurous energy to every performance.

🕵️‍♀️ Together, Eva and Sondre are the co-founders of Krim De Le Nøff, a murder mystery improv team known for their unpredictable, suspenseful shows—where even the performers don’t know who the murderer is until the story takes shape. They have performed together in several shows, including the Improvised Easter Crime special, crafting dark, playful narratives full of unexpected twists.
