Our
Classroom Approach
Our
primary goal in all of our workshops is to
offer a safe and effective environment for
creative growth and learning. Brave New Institute
workshops are popular, we believe, because
of the open, nurturing, and challenging 'creative
gymnasium' that this school has become. Whether
you're an actor, or someone just trying something
new, you will find that the Brave New Institute
is an exceptional place. We think this is because
of the students, the instructors and the history
and everyone's undeniable commitment to saying
'yes.'
A
Word About Our Improvisation Philosophies
We are passionate about improvisation! We offer ongoing
improvisation training for actors and non-actors of all
skills -- no matter your background,
we believe you will discover why improvisation is one of the most powerful
means of creative expression. If you're an actor, improvisation is one
of the most valuable tools you can have in your actor tool belt. If you're
not an actor, you will find that improvisation applies to your life in
many surprising ways. In our classes we help you find your individual
path to spontaneity, emotional and physical commitment, and pure improvisation--
i.e., the ability to 'get empty and simply discover'. Our adult training
takes a long form, "scenic" approach to improvisation -- our goal is
not to make you a "funny person," but instead to help you become a truthful
and passionate improviser and artist, and to help you find ways to purely
and truly "empty and discover" both on stage, and off. We also
explore short form improvisation in our youth programs and special workshops.
Our classes are held at our historic 2605 Hennepin Avenue Brave New Institute & Theatre
in Uptown, Minneapolis.
