I’m returning to Chicago with another round of workshops. Join us, please!
Back in Chicago!
The challenge for most improvisers is trying to stick to “the rules” and believing “Yes, and” is the magic formula for a successful scene. Characters meander and never find their footing. In an instant, you travel from a state of fluidity to a mess of frustration and ask yourself, “How did I go wrong?” or “Now what?”
These masterclasses provide methods and exercises that teach you to connect to your partner and the scene without worrying about the rules and responding with a “yes, and” after every line.
All classes take place at Studio Momentum, 1541 W. Belmont Ave.
Get in Focus $50
10/26, 7-10 pm
(This is an excellent primer for those who’ve never studied with Dave or a perfect refresher for those who have!)
What are you focused on when you begin a scene? What great offers are you missing because you’re building a story instead of connecting to your emotional responses? Get in Focus will teach you how to use the power of their kinesthetic responses to build strong scenes the moment the scene starts. Recognize how your body tells you where to focus your attention, then build a great connection from there.
Stage Dynamics $50
10/27, 7-10 pm
(Now that we’re back improvising on stage, your awareness of the power of where you are on stage is vital to great scenework.)
The dynamics between you and your partner are defined not just by your dialogue but by where you are on stage when speaking. Each inch of that stage is there to help you better define your relationships, build tension, and make surprising discoveries. Explore the hidden treasures that lie beneath your feet.
A Subversive’s All-Day Masterclass $95
10/28, 10:30 am - 5:30 pm
(This is open only to students who have attended at least one of the week’s workshops or a previous masterclass with Razowsky in person or virtually.)
This masterclass puts into practice the emotional connections learned in Get in Focus and Stage Dynamics to create compelling scenes you’ve never done or seen before. It’s where the rubber hits the road!
I’m sorry, but there will be no refunds for masterclasses.
