Welcome to the official website of the Brawl of America!

The Brawl of America returns on May 22-23, 2026, with our Theatrical Intimacy workshop on May 24.  

Registration Will Open Soon!

Registration usually goes live in February/March, and remember - students who register earlier get priority class selection.

Continuing our Pay-What-You-Want initiative!

Six Elements Theatre is proud to offer a Pay-What-You-Want option for attendees who belong to historically marginalized identities, specifically those who identify as BIPOC, trans, or otherwise non-cis-gender.  We recognize the exclusion these artists have had to face, and are excited to remove barriers to access so our performing arts communities can be vibrant, thriving, and diverse.

The Brawl of America Stage Combat Workshop is an opportunity to train in the art of performing violence on stage and screen that is both safe and dramatically effective.  Our instructors are leaders in the industry with national renown.  We offer a variety of classes that explore the diverse applications of choreographed violence within the contexts of dramatic storytelling.  Situated between the downtowns of the Twin Cities MN, the workshop is easily accessible and nestled in one of the most vibrant performing arts communities in the country. Please check out our website and see what the Brawl has to offer.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send them via email to [email protected]
