Specialty Workshops

In addition to our standard 6-week level classes, The Hideout likes to host specialty workshops on specific topics that will add some great skills to your improv tool belt.

These can range from intensives with world-renowned instructors from out of town to one-off sessions with local teachers showing you some of their unique expertise. They’re a great way to work on very specialized skills in a short amount of time.

Here’s what we have coming up:

Don't Call it Clown Intensive
Sat. Mar 22nd, 2025-Sun. Mar 23rd, 2025    
10:00 am (CDT)-4:30 pm (CDT)
This intensive workshop will demand your heart, your guts, and all your fluids. We will see how funny you can be when you give it all you’ve got. We will learn about your unique connection to the audience, your special brand of vulnerable ferocity, and the deep art you are capable of. Connect with your audiences like never before, and make them love you forever.
Advanced Scene Study
Scenes, scenes and more scenes. After a quick warm-up we are going to put up scenes with instant and detailed adjustments. The goal is to get some work in and trying some new techniques to expand your range and have FUN!

This class is designed for improvisers with a background in narrative improv who want to expand their skill set by diving into the mechanics of the Harold. Students will explore how the structure, game, and thematic connections of a Harold differ from traditional storytelling while exploring how their narrative instincts can enhance scene work and group mind. Through exercises focused on pattern recognition, heightening, and nonlinear scene progression, students will practice weaving multiple storylines that follow discovery and theme until they converge organically.
