The International Class brings together innovators - practitioners and scholars from the US and around the world - who share a passion for social change and for advancing performance-based, activity-theoretic approaches to education, therapy, health care and community development. Under the direction of Lois Holzman, the program is a 10-month course of study that combines three short residencies in NYC with online seminars and supervision
in the Institute's cutting-edge developmental methodology. A creative playground and postmodern academy, participants expand their therapeutic, performance and improvisational skills, engage the philosophical and political
issues emerging from their research and practice, and build ties and support for themselves and their communities.

Who are participants? In its first four years, The International Class has included 39 practitioners and scholars from Argentina, the Balkans, Bangladesh, Canada, El Salvador, India, Kenya, Mexico, Nicaragua, Pakistan, the Philippines, Rwanda, Serbia, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan and cities across the US.
