Congratulations, your stand alone scenes are refined! Now it's time to learn how to connect scenes meaningfully in the Harold, the standard improv format of the Improv Conspiracy.
You'll learn how to perform and draw information from openings, which are the tools that allow us to expand a single suggestion into 30 minutes of material.
Once we have first beats down, we'll work on ways to bring themes, games and characters back in our second and third beats.
We'll briefly touch on group games, and get you ready to perform your first Harold in front of an audience!
