About Wavetable

Everyone should get to practice the big moments before they count.

That is what we are building. Live sessions we run with your team, Rondo for your own people to run them, and a Studio that builds for your clients and audiences.

Why we started

  1. In 2016 Howard walked into a classroom expecting to lecture high schoolers.
  2. Instead he had them design an entire music festival, from lineup to food trucks.
  3. It was chaotic... but it worked. It made him wonder:

Why couldn't all learning feel like this?

That question became Wavetable: live practice a team does together, for the moments that decide the work, before they happen.

What we do

Pilots get simulators. The rest of us get PowerPoints.

We're changing that.

  1. 01

    It starts with one live session, run by us.

  2. 02

    A Program runs it over weeks with your team, and ends with someone on your team ready to host.

  3. 03

    Then it's theirs to run on Rondo, team after team.

  4. Beside it

    Studio. When a team needs something built for its clients or audience, our Studio makes it: activations, platforms and Residencies.

What makes us different

We came up building games, writing stories, playing gigs and teaching.

All four are about getting a room to commit to something live.

So everything we make is built to be played, not presented: the whole team is in it together, live, and sees where each choice leads.
