Improv 401: Harold Games & Openers Improv 401: Harold
This course continues the Harold work started in 301. Students will delve more deeply into 'The Harold' structure. They will learn a series of 'openers' and 'group games' that will complete the Harold format.
Openers are used to derive inspiration from the audience's suggestion while group games are multi-person scenes that break up the traditional 2 person scenes.
This is a 6 week course.
Cost: $235
This class will be held from 6:30-9:00pm on Monday nights starting Starting June 8th.
Prerequisites: Improv 301
