UK Subversion Tour 2026!
I absolutely LOVE working with the folks on that big British Isle. And Also Improv is arranging this wonderful opportunity. I’ll be leading the all-day workshop Find Your Focus in London and then Brighton. This will be bloody grand.
Class Description
Acclaimed author and improvisor David Razowsky returns to the UK for Find Your Focus, an exciting one-day masterclass based on his unique approach to improvisation, championed in his book A Subversive's Guide to Improvisation: Beyond Yes, And.
David's theories are based on decades of work as an improviser, including ten revues at Chicago's Second City performing with the likes of Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris, and Rachel Dratch, to the ten years he spent as Artistic Director of The Second City Hollywood, to the countless worldwide workshops and performances he has engaged in.

Participants in Find Your Focus will focus on:
Recognizing and creating from a strong point of view.
The creative certainty that comes with confident heightening, and how that, in itself, creates strong characters and relationships.
Owning the stage and your place in it.
Creating a sense of where without thinking, planning, worrying, or inventing.
Learning to surrender the emotional elements of the scene to build honest, real scenarios.
The actor's takeaway from Find Your Focus will be a toolbox full of confidence, enabling them to enter any stage, work with any other actor, and live in boundless, full environments.
Razowsky's approach is simple: Your present awareness is the only thing you need to create compelling, smart, truthful, and surprising scenes. Period. No games, no preconceived premises, no ideas, no ego. All that matters is now. The actor’s level of improvisation experience doesn’t matter, for all you'll need to bring to this workshop is your present presence. All you’ll leave with is your joy, excitement, and confidence. And after all, what more do you need?
This workshop is ideal for any actor, whether a student of improv or not. Starting from a methodology grounded in Viewpoints and predicated on real listening and responding, participants will learn to respond from a place of honest emotion and connection, a skill applicable to all performance forms.
