i301:
PATTERNS, SHAPES, AND GAMES

i401: GETTING TO KNOW HAROLD

(Enrolling Nov. 2017)

About this class: In this level, you'll apply all of your existing training as you explore the dynamic and classic long form structure, The Harold.

By discovering how The Harold lives and breathes, we'll learn valuable tools to help identify theme, heighten Games, and achieve group mind. The class culminates in a presentation of The Harold during a student performance.

i401 culminates with a class performance, and the next i401 session begins early November 2017.


i501:
NEXT LEVEL SCENE & FORM

(Enrolling Nov. 2017)

About this class: After completing i401, iSeries students have already developed a diverse set of skills and have found success putting those skills to use. In i501: Next Level Scene & Form, you'll learn more advanced techniques and forms that focus on improving all aspects of your work.

We'll explore new ideas that stretch our knowledge of Game and how to apply it to nearly all of the work that we do. We'll learn about tempo and pacing, and expand our understanding of character. Now that you have more experience under your belt, we'll revisit risk, fear, and failure to push yourself into new areas of growth.

i501 culminates with a class performance, and begins November, 2017.
