Home, Sweet Subversive, Home

I’m coming back to Chicago, and bringing a box of subversive improv and a few books.

Come join us, and let us take your skills to a whole new level. Feel the freedom that comes when you aren’t bound to rules, parameters, or stale methodologies.

All workshops take place at Porchlight Music Theatre, 4200 W. Diversey Ave. Chicago, IL 60639.

Find Your Focus
Friday, May 22, 7 pm – 10 pm (3 hours)
Max # of Students: 12
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
Saturday, May 23, 10:30 am – 1:30 pm (3 hours)
Max # of Students: 12
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.

Intention: A Masterclass for Connecting to Your Partner
Saturday, May 23, 10:30 am – 1:30 pm (3 hours)
Max # of Students: 12
Tuition: $85.00
Description: I’ve noticed how often two actors in a scene pull in myriad directions, having separate ideas of where they’d like the scene to go. It’s as if they’re two different scenes—because they are. They aren’t communicating, so the scene is a mess that’s frustrating to be a part of and challenging to watch.

Intention is the glue that keeps you two in flow. The Intention workshop will give you tools to immediately see where you and your partner can connect and effortlessly play the beat like pros.
