You’ve got solid fundamentals. Your shows are generally good. Now let’s make them memorable. In this dynamic three-hour workshop, players will learn how to build out a rich, interconnected world by spotting the fun, exploring recurring patterns, and heightening in ways that expand rather than just repeat. Taught by longtime teammates on the Harold team MAX, this class brings a rare inside look at how veteran improvisers think about shows as a whole.Whether you’re doing a Harold, a monoscene, or your own indie format, this workshop will give you tools to create a show that feels alive, surprising, and cohesive.
