-While the first festival of 2002 invited individual performers from different improvisational theatre groups to stage international improvisational shows in mixed groups, the second festival of 2003 was a thematic one, based on the concept of character in improvisational theatre. Performances and workshops were given by ''Unexpected Productions'' (Seattle, USA); ''Theater im Bahnhof'' (Graz, Austria); ''Improvvisazione teatrale italiana'' (Bologna, Italy); and ''Isar148'' (Munich, Germany), and improvisers from all around the globe explored the process of creating and developing characters for the final show of the festival. In 2005 Tom Johnson, artistic director and founder of Portland's The Brody Theater, presented his experimental work. The theme of the 2008 festival was ''Open/Closed'' and featured collectives Company Blu (Italy); Stella Polaris (Finland); Eric Davis (USA); etc.
-== Guests of the festival ==
-Every year the festival also presents a festival production, including guests of the festival. The 10th edition of the Naked Stage Festival focused on the work of the improvisational group [[Kolektiv Narobov]], which was the initiator of the festival, and featured a round table ''Collective Work in the Arts'' and an exhibition of [[Kolektiv Narobov|Narobov's]] work.
-Musicians were also invited in 2010 to present their improvisation skills: [[Goran Završnik]], a pioneer developer of music for improvisational theatre in Slovenia; [[Igor Bračič]], a performer and musician also known as [[Slon in sadež|Sadež]]; and the excellent pianist, [[Melodrom]]'s and [[Katalena]]'s [[Polona Janežič]].
