IRONDALE CLASSES FOR ADULTS & YOUTH

Register early! Space is limited.

Adult Classes

For beginner and veteran improvisers alike, our classes delve deeply into the mechanics, forms, techniques and permutations of improvisation using the ensemble method. Irondale Ensemble Project, an off-Broadway theater company founded in 1983, has been using these same techniques in the creation of their shows, workshops, teaching residencies and classes.

Focusing more on how a group learns and creates together rather than a “rules of improv” based curriculum, our classes are designed to broaden creativity, heighten perception, teach organic problem-solving, facilitate in the discovery of multi-layered relationships, and encourage students to stretch their imaginations beyond the bounds of traditional theater and performance. Each session will culminate in a showcase.
