YOU MUST HAVE COMPLETED IMPROV 101/201 INTENSIVE or be a 2010 graduate of IMPROV 201 to register.

MPROV 301 builds on the game of the scene from 201. Learn to instantly create solid characters (voice, attitude and physicality) and develop meaningful relationships in every scene you perform. Raise the stakes of the game by exploring the space between.

IMPROV 401 introduces students to Harold, the most widely performed improv format. From organic openings, second and third beats and group scenes, students learn the structure that makes Harold the standard for every longform. Be prepared to learn a strict foundation.

301/401 INTENSIVE runs from 10:00am until 4:00pm MONDAY - THURSDAY with an hour break for lunch at 12:30pm; INTENSIVE runs until 1:00pm FRIDAY July 23rd.

THIS IS AN INTENSIVE CLASS — Intensive classes are a great way to get through our training program in a shorter period of time without sacrificing any in-class time.
