Austin Improv

Bob, I'll take the rest of your fries any time.

Shit yes. I love this discussion.

I agree with Bob. Let's move this talk into into
a big room with beers and brats.

I've get closer to the feeling I get when fighting or fucking doing a Harold than I have doing other forms. Discuss.

Discussion points:

1. The Harold is the Iggy Pop of forms

2. The Harold is the Andy Dick of forms

3. It would seem as though fighting is the opposite of group mind and fucking is the epitome of group mind ... and yet fucking and fighting are closely related and sometimes indistinguishable.

4. Jastroch seems pretty busy; when's he doing all this fighting?

5. The first rule of the Harold is never talk about the Harold. TOO LATE

You're not using your rational mind when you're fighting.

I operate an underground cock fighting ring. I fight cocks in this ring.

Jastroch, you misspelled "fuck" in the post about your cock ring.

i agree with this completely, though i think from the opposite end.

Will someone please teach a Harold workshop soon? I will give you dollars. I wanna try it!

I second that.

shiiiiiit, I just spent 8 weeks teaching the Harold level and wish I had 16

I think I could offer a 2-hour 'Group Organic' workshop, though.

I would teach a Harold workshop ... but given that it's central to the ColdTowne curriculum, we'd probably need to make sure we had interest from enough non-ColdTowne students.

Well, I assumed it would be a multi-session workshop. Perhaps I should have used the word "class". Does one feel it is most productive to be taught in tandem with more typical improv curriculum? Can it be isolated into it's own course?

I hear you. I wish I had 16 to learn it.

It can be its own course if you already know how to do good scenes and make patterns and find games.

Agreed. Even then, I wouldn't want to try to teach it in less than 12 hours total, just because it's easy to get hung up on the mechanics and never get to the fun part.
