2024/25 SEASON - WHO, WHAT, WHERE… WHY?
"Finding the game/game" with Frank and "Improvised Shakespeare" with Desi
4th FEBRUARY - 25th MARCH 2026
Frank will kick off with his "Finding the game/game" revelation on how to determine what the scene is about. What is the thesis statement of the scene? Why is this scene worth watching, why we're seeing this moment in time for these characters and not five minutes earlier or later.
All of this through two different approaches - one based on the improv format "Playing with secrets", in which the actors individually will get a full backstory and will discover it while playing. The other one will allow you to go into the crazy fun.
15th APRIL - 17th JUNE 2026
Desi will carry on with "Improvised Shakespeare - The philosophy of the truth"
“Speak the speech, I pray you… and make it up as you go!”
Setting foot into the world of the non-scripted Elizabethan drama, with a twist, or how to challenge and expand our actor's toolbox.
Classical theatre meets improv in the style of William Shakespeare. By using the rhythms of iambic pentameter, the poetic language, advanced acting techniques and the over-the-top tragic and comic characters, we’ll create hilarious, heartbreaking, overdramatic stories - on the spot.

WHY TAKE IMPROV ACTING CLASSES WITH IMPRO BRUSSELS?
At Impro Brussels we value process.
You will never be asked to “think fast”, or to “be funny”, or anything like that. Rather, to… have fun!
We have to get rid of our inner judge, and connect with our scene partners to share that unique, unrepeatable moment that is happening in the improvisation. That’s why it’s also called “unscripted theatre”.
You will get out of your confort zone in a safe space, you will have a confidence boost to speak in public, learn how to have charisma on stage, on top of course of learning techniques of improvised theatre!
Whether you are a complete beginner, or have some experience, we have the right class for you. We have improv for everyone.
Our classes are in English; it doesn’t matter if your level of English is not perfect - almost no one is a native speaker. You will see that words don’t even count that much, while you’re acting.
