The Horde
Enter the storm and become part of something bigger in The Horde — a bold, high-energy long-form improv format where the ensemble never leaves the stage and the line between scene and support disappears entirely. In this six-week class, you’ll learn how to move, think, and play as one dynamic force, crafting bold theatrical moments without the safety of a backline or sidelines.
In The Horde, every performer is always onstage. While a central scene takes focus, the rest of the cast forms a living, reactive chorus — the “horde”. The format thrives on strong group mind, fearless physicality, and a willingness to serve the scene in inventive, surprising ways.
This format is perfect for improvisers eager to push beyond traditional scene work, deepen their ensemble connection, and develop bold choices in a fully immersive, always-active environment.
