SUMMARY:The Harold Made Easy with Maria Peters
DESCRIPTION:October 22nd – December 10th | Wednesdays | 18:30 – 2100 (Showcase on 10th December)\n———————(No class on November 26th)———————\n\nThis course will undoubtedly make you a better improviser.\n\nThe Harold improv format is an essential skill set for anyone looking to upgrade their improv to the next level.\nIt pushes you to listen more deeply\, play with greater creativity\, and build stories that stick with an audience far beyond a single scene. Whether you’ve been performing The Harold for a while or have only heard rumours about it\, these 6 x workshops will guide you through both foundations and advanced techniques\, all while boosting your confidence in a fun\, supportive\, and welcoming space.\n\nAnd when it comes to your instructor there’s no one better to learn The Harold from. Maria Peters trained directly with Charna Halpern\, the actual co-creator of the format. She spent months studying with instructors from iO and Second City Chicago\, UCB New York and brings over a decade of experience performing around the world.\n\nHere are some of the things you’ll walk away with from the course: \n\n\n\n\nGroup Mind – Practical techniques that lead to that elusive\, abstract\, and magical thing when an ensemble seems to be thinking with one mind.\n\n\nLong-Form Storytelling – We’re not talking about the classic narrative ‘hero’s journey’ or ‘once upon a time’ narrative structure here. You’ll learn the 3-stranded framework that almost all Television episodes are based upon. You’ll weave characters arcs and themes throughout. All while building satisfying endings to shows that feel like powerful scripted narratives.\n\n\nAdvanced Editing Skills – You’ll have a better sense of scenic timing as well as greater confidence in entering or ending scenes.\n\n\nAmerican Style Improv – The Harold is the foundation for a lot of long-form improv worldwide. Knowing it will help you wrap your head around loads of other formats as well as giving you the tools and inspiration to create your own.
