DAVID RAZOWSKY is one of the top teachers of theatrical improvisation and acting. He has been called “the guru of improvisation, an improviser’s improviser,” who connects the mindfulness of Buddhism with improvisation’s core principals of being in the moment, taking care of your partner, and groundedness. In his 25-year improvisation career David has worked with The Second City, iO West, The Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Dreamworks, BBC’s Whose Line Is It Anyway, and Amsterdam’s Boom Chicago Theatre. He was Artistic Director of The Second City Training Center Los Angeles, has been honored with an INNY award for Best Improv Coach, and is adjunct faculty in the California State University system. He has been a featured performer and lecturer at the Chicago Improv Festival, The San Francisco Improv Festival, the Vancouver Improv Festival, and The Kennedy Center.
For one special weekend, David will be leading three different workshops that will offer insightful new access into your performance and your self.
INSTANT CHARACTERS
Saturday, October 12th, 11am - 2pm
$60/$50 for Institution Students with the code InstitutionStudent
Building strong characters starts the moment your foot hits the floor, not the moment you start “thinking.” This workshop will focus on the organic unfolding of character based on that first step. Characters are richer, instantly fleshed out and exciting, all leading to playing people you’ve never inhabited, in scenes you’ve never before played. More being…less thinking!
GROUP SCENES REDUCED
Saturday, October 12th, 3pm - 6pm
$60/$50 for Institution Students with the code InstitutionStudent
A group scene doesn’t have to be a confusing or feared clusterfunk. Get yourself into that scene! Razowsky’s workshop will show how the art of the three-person (+!) scene is simple once it’s broken down, leading you to stronger, challenging, surprising, and easy long-form scenes. Start it out right, heighten it, move it forward, and keep it moving. Come join us: we need you!
LET IT GO – YOU'LL BE SO HAPPY YOU DID
Sunday, October 13th, 12:30pm - 5pm
$75/$65 for Institution Students with the code InstitutionStudent
Are you making decisions of where the scene’s supposed to go without letting it go where it wants to go? Start your scenes strongly, certainly and surprisingly. If you think you know where your scene’s going…you’re probably missing out on some great experiences!
