Improvisation courses for everyone.

The improvisation courses offered by Plataforma IMPROV are an invitation to curiosity, experimentation, and the joy of being in the present moment. You don't need any theater experience—just the desire to have fun, challenge yourself, and surprise yourself. Each session is a safe and welcoming space where creativity flourishes, laughter is natural, and mistakes are celebrated.


Through games and improvisation exercises, we explore listening, imagination, and spontaneity—powerful tools both on stage and in life.

If you're looking for a new way to express yourself, meet amazing people, or simply relieve the stress of everyday life, these classes are for you.


Come play, discover and improvise with us.

Our Improvisation Training is a structured course in three progressive levels , designed for those who want to discover, deepen, and practice theatrical improvisation in a consistent way.

 

Each level lasts 3 months, totaling 32 hours, combining intensive practice, improvisation games, and continuous pedagogical support.

No prior experience is necessary.

How the training works:

 

  • 3 sequential levels (basic/intermediate/advanced level)

  • 32 hours per level (2 hours per week)

  • Each level lasts 3 months.

  • Methodology: practice, play, reflection and feedback

  • Pedagogical progression: from essential to advanced

Each level builds upon the skills of the previous one, respecting individual pace and the collective work of the group.
