My workshops translate the rigorous methodology of improvisation into actionable professional skills. I work with organizations to dismantle communication blocks, expand status flexibility, and foster the kind of authentic connection that drives results.

- narrative design lab: storytelling is not a delivery method, it’s a relationship. in this immersive workshop series for small teams, we unpack how to understand your audience moment to moment as a model for developing truly engaging stories. in this laboratory for writers, developers, and creative leads, We use spontaneity-based games to discover the underlying narrative of collective intuition. the result is a means of storytelling that is as thrilling to the creator as it is to the player, viewer, or participant.
Why Work With Me?
Forget the typical ‘improv’ workshop. This is about the art of being present. Drawing on three decades of experience as a director and performer, I distill the architecture of human connection into a toolkit for your team. I take this knowledge of high-level theatre practise and turn it into raw, practical tools—designed to expand your range, deepen your sensitivity, and make your narrative work dangerous in all the right ways.

“Jeff creates a very supportive environment in which it’s easy to try out new things and where making mistakes and getting it wrong just adds to the fun.”
“Jeff Gladstone was amazing! It was lots of fun with big belly laughs. A surprising bonus for me was that in each lesson there was a deep truth about how to find more meaningful connections in everyday life. I recommend this class to anyone and everyone.“
“You could tell he was very attentive and thinking about where to take the group next that would benefit them the most, then guided us there very fluidly. An iron fist in a velvet glove comes to mind!“
“Jeff is very personable, talented, easy-going, encouraging and awesome. I felt safe and there was no pressure. Jeff kept us engaged and somehow, with all his experience being an improv actor and teacher, brought the unique best out in each of us. Before we knew it we were one big happy group, spending a couple hours each class playing, moving, laughing, and pretending. Just like kids.”
