OTHER
ADULT IMPROVISATION PROGRAMS
Student Performance Teams Some students who have
successfully completed the adult program will join this program. These
students work
with a coach to create
an ongoing "performance ensemble." Teams rehearse weekly and perform on the BNI
stage some Tuesdays (see Six Ring
Circus) and other nights. Fees vary. Teams are formed on a quarterly basis.
Prerequisite: Improvisation 4 or 5, or permission from BNI director.
Special Adult Improvisation Workshops Periodically the BNI offers special
improvisation workshops for adults -- Improvisation
for Teachers, Writing & Improvising
Music, Sketch Writing, and Improvisation Movement are some examples. We also
work with other local theatres and our alumni to offer periodic national guest
instructors.

ACTING
PROGRAMS
We have
found that three types of actors enjoy training at the Brave New
Institute: 1) the beginning actor that is seeking a safe, nurturing
and quality environment to begin their study, and
2) the advanced actor who wants some intense, specific training to bring their
skills to the next level, and
3) the semi-experienced actor who wants to try something new.
Actors tell us that the nurturing, but challenging creative environment at
the BNI is unique and powerful. They also tell us that they enjoy being a part
of the BNI 'creative gymnasium,' which gives them the opportunity to meet other
actors and artists who share similar passions and goals. That is why we expanded
our offerings beyond 'improvisation' to include basic and advanced acting training.
We formed partnerships with several professional acting instructors so that
the same creative nurturing environment we are known for in our improvisation
programs could exist for actors. We have selected these instructors because
their acting philosophies and teaching styles compliment the improvisation
principles and workshops we offer at the Brave New Institute. These acting
workshops are a great next step for improvisers who want to expand their tool
belt. These programs also offer new and experienced actors the opportunity
to sharpen their tools in a quality, nurturing environment
