Take your improv to the next level in this 8-week intensive learning one of the most iconic formats; The Harold!
About this Event

Across eight weeks, you’ll explore the structure and techniques that make The Harold such a rewarding format to perform. From discovering rich ideas in the opening scene to weaving together recurring characters, themes and finding unexpected connections, you’ll learn how to turn a single audience suggestion into a hilarious, surprising and satisfying piece of long-form comedy.

Through practical exercises, scene work and ensemble play, you’ll develop your ability to make bold choices, follow the fun, actively listen and trust your scene partners. You’ll learn how to recognise patterns, heighten game, revisit earlier moments and bring seemingly unrelated storylines together.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your long-form foundations or add a new dimension to your improv practice, this intensive will give you the tools to approach The Harold with curiosity, commitment and confidence.
