Think of a wheel and you will be able to picture the structure of the Spokane. At the center is the ”hub” scene which is a central group scene. The “spokes” are tangential scenes extending out from the hub scene through tag-outs. The Spokane utilizes improv skills such as: character, environment, game, listening, tagging, and group scenework. As the wheel rolls, so goes the Spokane.
