Discover the iconic Chicago-born format that revolutionized long-form improv and learn to build rich, interconnected worlds from a single suggestion. Over four weeks, this course breaks down the Harold - not as a rigid formula, but as an organic framework for discovering patterns, heightening themes, and mastering group play. You'll deepen your ensemble awareness, learn to trust the structure, and bring sharp Chicago-style mechanics to your scene work. Prior long-form experience is required to jump straight into the action.
Blend the depth of long-form with the playful immediacy of short-form in this dynamic hybrid workshop at Amsterdam's Dijktheater. Designed for versatile players, this course teaches you how to seamlessly shift between rapid-fire games, grounded scenes, and thematic exploration—all expanding from a single suggestion. You'll master fluid pacing, spontaneous ensemble edits, and intuitive transitions without relying on rigid structures. If you're ready to unite both worlds into a cohesive, high-energy performance style, join us! Prior experience in both short-form and long-form is required.
