Level Five: Montage of Scenes
There are no Level Five classes scheduled at the moment.
You’ve got the building blocks of improv, and now it’s time to put it all together in a self-directed show consisting of unrelated scenes inspired by an initial audience suggestion (Montage). Learn the tools and tricks to sustain a longform show without a teacher or director controlling the shape of the show. Discover not just how to transition between connected scenes, but also WHEN and WHY. We’ll continue to work on sustaining the playfulness and effortlessness that makes improv come alive for an audience. Classes run once a week (2.5 hours each) for six weeks, limit 10 students. Level Five culminates in a student showcase for friends and family.(Prereq: Levels Four)

Level Seven: Telling the Story (Narrative One)
There are no Level Seven classes scheduled at the moment.
In the intro class of our narrative improv series, you’ll dive headfirst into what might be the most difficult work we do at the Hideout: long-form narrative. Through games, exercises and training formats, you’ll learn the basic elements of improvising a 30-minute story: who is the story about, what kind of story is it, when to explore and when to move things along, and how to get out of your own way and let your natural storytelling instincts take over. Classes run once a week (2.5 hours) for six weeks, limit 10 students. LEVEL SEVEN culminates in a student showcase.(Prereq: Level Six)
Level Eight: Picking a Genre (Narrative Two)
There are no Level Eight classes scheduled at the moment.
Now that you’ve learned the basics, it’s time to drill down into a specific genre or narrative format. The second level in our Narrative series will pick a specific style of storytelling (Noir, buddy cop, soap opera, after-school special, etc.) and spend six weeks giving you the tools and techniques to knock it out of the park. Throughout the year we offer a variety of different Narrative 201 classes exploring different formats and genres. Whatever the format, we’ll continue to work on sustaining the playfulness and effortlessness that makes it all fun for the players and fun for the audience. Classes run once a week (2.5 hours) for six weeks, limit 10 students. LEVEL EIGHT culminates in a student showcase.(Prereq: Level Seven)
Level Nine: Breaking the Rules (Narrative Three)
There are no Level Nine classes scheduled at the moment.
In the third class in our narrative series, you’ll work on forgetting all the rules and best practices you’ve learned in the first two levels. Or at least letting go of them for a while so you can get back to joyful, playful, mischievious improv that just happens to tell a story over a long period of time. Build the stupid-simple habits necessary to get out of your own way and let the story flow through you. Classes run once a week (2.5 hours) for six weeks, limit 10 students. LEVEL NINE culminates in a student showcase.(Prereq: Level Eight)
