Who Are the Carleton Harriers?GeneralThe Carleton Harriers are an improvisational troupe at Carleton College that performs Harolds, an improvisational longform popularized by Del Close, Charna Halpern, and Chicago's ImprovOlympic. Harriers' particular brand of Harold ranges from free-form to intensely focused within 30-45 minutes. Harriers performs as much as possible and wherever we can. To get Harriers involved in your event, eMail or call the group's super-duper Kontakts Alex Starace (staracea@carleton.edu), or Todd Springer (springeg@carleton.edu). History Harriers was founded Spring term 1999 by Michael Barker '02. Michael responded to a percieved lack of longform improvisation at Carleton. When his perceptions were proved false, he went ahead and formed the group anyway. Besides Michael, founding members were Megan Orwig '02, Corey Lang '02, Sam O'Brien '02, Katie Stem '02, and Asher Miller '02. It was a fresh-person party, to be sure. Soon the group brought in Dan Diamond '02, Alex Starace '03, and Tom Adkins '03. This group performed as the Harriers for the first time on November 18, 1999. Here is a poster which advertised the auspicious event. In 2000 A.D., the Harriers gleefully welcomed Todd Springer '02, Annie Michaelis '03, Sarah Allison '03, Max Stewart '03, Peter Fehrs '03, Seth Dolman '03, and Abra Brisbin '04. 2001 was boring. 2002 brought many challenges to the group, along with Matt Barnhurst '04 and Danny Mintz, '05. Here are the only known records that can be linked to the Harriers. We're shrouded in secrecy. Updated a little bit on 1/31/02. |
