Pattern Mapping
The practice of identifying the abstract pattern across two or three Harold scenes and using it to generate second-beat and third-beat material.
Known for
- Teaching exercise: after first beat, the team huddles and names the pattern in one sentence ('people apologizing for things they're proud of').
- The pattern is the game at a Harold-wide scale — usable by any performer in any subsequent scene.
- Advanced teams map patterns without stopping — the collective ear hears the abstraction mid-show.
