If you're between the ages of 6 and 15 come to our two summer programs at the Irondale Center in Fort Greene - the coolest space in Brooklyn.

Our two-week sessions are tailored to keep students' minds engaged by providing a nurturing, safe, and artistic atmosphere. Led by professional Irondale Artists, young actors will experience various game-based workshops throughout the day. Workshops range from acting techniques, improvisation, movement/dance and character creation to storytelling, playwriting, and intro to design. Instructors encourage students to explore the power of creativity and develop an artistic voice. All sessions conclude with a performance for family and friends.

JUNIOR COMPANY INTENSIVE

Ages 11 – 15
July 23 – August 3, 2012

Growing from the success of our school-year tween classes, Junior Company members will have the opportunity to learn the same ensemble approach our adult and teen companies experience year round. Working towards their final scripted performance, students will learn what it takes to put on a show. From acting, improv, and scene study to front-of-house and design, Junior Company members create and produce their play as an ensemble. The session concludes with a public performance on Friday, August 3 at 6:00PM

The Irondale Ensemble is a world-renowned acting company, and its members teach in NYC schools. You will learn to use the same tools - improv, acting, and creating original work - we've been using for 27 years. We want to help inspire you - the next generation of great artists, performers, and creators.

Classes are held 9:00AM – 4:00PM, Monday – Friday in Irondale’s gorgeous off-Broadway theater in the heart of Fort Greene Brooklyn, where the stage truly is the classroom. Early Drop-Off starts at 8AM, and After-Care till 5:30PM available for an additional fee.

REGISTER NOW for early bird discounts: 5% off if registered by May 12, 2012, Returning Families and Irondale Members save 10% (additional 5% for early bird.)

No previous theater experience required,
just an open mind and a willingness to play!
