Adult Improv Theatre: 4 Week Improv Course for Everyone Ages 16 to 101! With Lena Ivros. Mondays at 7:30pm

Ο Ελληνικός Πολυχώρος, the new centre for community in Downtown Athens is pleased to welcome Lena's Improv Place for Foundation Improv for Adults starting on Monday October 5th and Intermediate Improv for Adults starting on Monday November 2nd with the wonderful Lena Ivros.

Lena Ivros is an improv theatre instructor based in Athens, with a background teaching in both Greece and Belgium.

Alongside improv, she facilitates theatre camps and teaches meditation, bringing a calm, grounded presence into everything she does.
Lena believes that real play only happens when people feel safe. Her classes are built on empathy, patience and genuine care for each participant, whatever their age or confidence level.

She creates a space where mistakes are welcome, everyone is heard, and people can show up exactly as they are. Her approach blends the playfulness of improv with the presence and attentiveness of a meditation teacher, making her classes as much about connection and wellbeing as they are about creativity and fun.

Improv actively practices the "yes, and..." philosophy. Offering profound mental health and social benefits it builds real-life skills by boosting confidence.
It's also a great way to meet people and let go without judgement. It's a safe space to really be yourself.

Everyone ages 16 to 100 and beyond can come along and be in the excellent care of Lena, a highly experienced Improv Theatre teacher who speaks English, Greek and Dutch: however everyone is welcome as in improv, spoken language isn't the most important way to communicate!

Enhances Active Listening: The core rule of improv—"Yes, and..."—requires you to genuinely hear your scene partner's ideas, accept them, and build upon them. This translates to better personal relationships and more productive workplace collaborations.

Improves Quick Thinking: Practicing unscripted scenarios forces your brain to think on its feet. This significantly helps with navigating unexpected situations, whether it's a sudden change in a project or an unscripted question in a job interview.

Builds Resilience and Reduces Fear of Failure: Improv teaches you to "fail happily." By realizing that mistakes aren't the end of the world, you reduce social anxiety, quiet your inner critic, and become more comfortable stepping outside your comfort zone.

Promotes Mindfulness: You cannot effectively improvise if you are worrying about the past or over-planning the future. Improv grounds you entirely in the present moment.

Fosters Social Connection: Joining an improv class is a highly effective way to make new friends and build a supportive community as an adult.

Join Lena and unleash your creativity! Make friends and build community!
