A typical Rough Crowd Academy weekend is either a two-day intensive, or two single-day intensives back to back. Individual weekends might vary, but these are the general schedules that a Rough Crowd Academy weekend follows.
FULL WEEKEND INTENSIVE EXAMPLE SCHEDULE
For detailed information on what is covered, see the 2-day curriculum page.
Friday night:
8:00 pm – We will often have a social at a local bar or other free-form relaxed venue. This is a chance for me to meet all of you, and for students to meet their fellow students for the weekend. Chances are you’ll know some people, and not others, so say hello to someone you don’t already know!
It won’t be a super late night; we’ve got a long weekend ahead of us!
Payment works like a munch: just buy something from the bar or establishment.
Saturday:
9:30 am – Doors open. We’ll still be setting up, but come on in, bring your coffee or bagel, get comfortable and socialize and caffeinate.
10:00 am – Class starts
10:10 am – Doors close. No late entry past this point. (If you miss this, you miss both days.)
Lunch on your own; lunch will happen somewhere around 12:30/1:00-ish, depending on how quickly we move through the morning material.
There will be several breaks through the afternoon to socialize, practice, sit quietly, or just rest your brain.
5:00 pm – Day 1 of class ends.
Dinner on your own
9:00 pm – (often, a play party happens here; see your specific city’s details for more information.)
Sunday:
9:30 am – Doors open. Come caffeinate, groan, and stretch with all your new best friends.
10:00 am – Class starts
10:10 am – Doors close
Lunch will happen around 12:30/1:00. Several breaks through the afternoon again.
