I’m coming to westport, ct!
I’m excited to have my debut at Westport’s Community Theatre for three masterclasses and a weekend intensive! Can you handle all the subversiveness? OF COURSE YOU CAN. Here’s what you can expect:
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?” Pick up A Subversive’s Guide to Improvisation and join the fun! (Books available for purchase at the workshops.)
These masterclasses provide methods and exercises that teach you to connect to your partner and the scene without worrying about the rules.
All workshops take place at Westport Community Theatre, 110 Myrtle Ave #109, Westport, CT 06880.

GET IN FOCUS
Date: Wednesday, August 13, from 7 pm – 10 pm (3 hours)
Max # of Students: 15
Tuition: $85.00
Description: What are you focused on when you begin a scene? What great offers are you missing because you’re building a story instead of a relationship? Learn how paying attention to your heart and breath leads to strong scenes and surprising dynamics.
POINT OF VIEW
Date: Thursday, August 14, from 7 pm – 10 pm (3 hours)
Max # of Students: 15
Tuition: $85.00
Description: It’s the bedrock of every relationship. You state your point of view, and your partner says theirs. Sounds easy, right? But how often are scenes derailed because the actors don’t hold onto their points of view or mindlessly add unnecessary details that throw the scene off course? Recognizing, maintaining, and evolving a point of view creates confident and exciting scenes.
STAGE DYNAMICS
Date: Friday, August 15, from 7 – 10 pm (3 hours)
Max # of Students: 15
Tuition: $85.00
Description: 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.
THE WEEKEND MASTERCLASS
Date: Saturday & Sunday, August 16-17, from 10:30 am - 5:30 pm Each Day (1-hour Lunch Break)
Max # of Students: 15
Tuition: $350.00
Description: The Weekend Masterclass builds on Razowsky’s methodology of mindfulness, emotional awareness, kinesthetic responses, and truthfulness as outlined in his book, A Subversive’s Guide to Improvisation. The weekend masterclass will begin by reviewing the basics of connectedness and fly from there. This is gonna be good!
Prerequisite: This weekend workshop is open only to students who have attended at least one of the week’s previous workshops or a masterclass with Razowsky in person or virtually.
