We've been working really hard to perfect our Harold skills and we still have a way to go before our show at Greyhouse on November 13, 2009. Last Saturday we received formal long form training from John Colby of ComedySportz Indianapolis. We mainly worked on characters who emote realistically, yet interestingly. The key to long form is realism so that people can relate to the characters and then wait for the threads to come together at the end when the audience enjoys the show the most. Exactly like a Wes Anderson movie, long form is my favorite type of improv. Short form forces the performer to make quick witty jokes that are just for a laugh, but long form engages the audience in a real situation. The Harold is extremely advanced compared to our usual long form game style because the beats leave the performers on the stage doing a scene and if it starts to bomb then things can get ugly fast. The risk is worth the reward though, and I am confident in our group mind so we should have an amazing show this Friday. Hope to see you there!
