Improv 301: Group Play + Patterns

Improv 301 marks a shift into full-ensemble work. Building on the character and relationship skills from 201, you’ll train your “pattern muscles”—learning how to recognize what’s emerging, support it as a team, and heighten it into clear, satisfying group play. You’ll practice group scenes, group games, and the mechanics that make them work: spotting patterns, clarifying the chaos, and making strong next moves together. You can expect more performance-specific coaching as we refine timing, specificity, pacing, and how you support your partners and the group. These skills are key building blocks for longform performance—including the Harold, taught in 401.

Improv 301 is the third step in PHIT’s core training path.

Prerequisite: PHIT Improv 201 (or equivalent experience), or permission from the Education Director.
