International Schools Theater Association

ISTA is an organization of international drama teachers who believe in the value of ensemble theater techniques in education. ISTA hosts workshops and festivals for both teachers and students in Europe and Asia.

Original productions often are designed around the students interests and needs using improvisation brainstorming. Focus is integrating student involvement beginning the earliest stages of creation through the final production. Traditional plays can also be enhanced by using ensemble techniques in rehearsals. Many of these drama exercises have been found to be useful in enhancing co-operative learning environments non-theater classroom settings. For more information contact:
