Theatre Language Studio, Frankfurt am Main

TLS Frankfurt is a not-for-profit theatre organization that was founded in 2010 by an ambitious group of international artists who wanted to break new ground in the city of Frankfurt by providing plays, events and education that informed and enlightened universal ideas through theatre. TLS Frankfurt is the home of FITS, Frankfurt’s popular premiere English language improvisation troupe, performing short and longform improvisation theatre for audiences monthly. TLS also holds improvisation courses for adults and children, with the hope of improving communication and integration of communities. Improvisation is theatre for everybody. The raw material of improvisation is the honest expressions, experiences and passions of the performers and audience. It is immediate theatre. As a bonus, good improvisation is built on conquering fears and working collaboratively in an accepting environment. Theatre Language Studio believes that if people can improvise together and laugh together, they can do anything together.

Additionally, TLS produces English language theatre productions. An artist-driven company, TLS Frankfurt tries to find innovative angles and new ways of telling stories through unique staging or multimedia practices. TLS Frankfurt also nurtures young actors, writers and directors, and works with other organisations and its neighbours to bring theatre to a wider audience through its education courses and programs, attempting to teach and understand the universal human stories that drive all of us as citizens of the world. TLS explores and innovates, diminishing the line between actor and audience to create a more accepting, more creative community, via its one-of-a-kind theatrical experiences.
