Course Description

Summary

In this course, we will learn how to perform 'The Harold'. The Harold is a long-form improvised form developed by Del Close. It is a collage of scenes inspired by a single suggestion which are interwoven and connected. Students, now with a solid understanding of scene work and 'Game', will come to learn the Harold structure and perform full Harolds both in class and in their class shows. The central theme of Advanced Improvisation: The Harold is teamwork.
