In Improv 301 at the Upright Citizens Brigade Training Center, students take their improvisational skills to the next level, honing their ability to create engaging, character-driven scenes and further exploring the "game of the scene." Through a deeper understanding of scene dynamics, students enhance their group support, and embrace ensemble performance.
In this course students are introduced to an improv structure called "The Harold." Students will learn The Harold structure, show openings, and how to generate ideas from the opening and begin crafting a show. By the end of this course, students will be able to create an opening, generate scene ideas and utilize the lessons from 101 and 201 to build a scene, find the game and play it within the structure of The Harold.
