Master Class: How Do I Work With That? (w/David Razowsky)

Nowadays there is more stage time than ever, which means more opportunities to perform - sometimes with great partners, sometimes with challenging ones. This in-person masterclass will help you create exciting scenes no matter what anyone tosses at you.

You have choices. Learn what they are.

Learn to work with improvisers who:

* Always go for the joke
* Start a scene at a “10”
* Don’t listen, talk over you, or don’t let you talk
* Make you or themselves crazy, high, drunk, or demented
* Start the scene at an obvious beginning
* Play a racist, sexist, transphobic, or homophobic character
* Mindlessly add plot
* Talk about the activity in a scene
* Start a transaction, negotiation, or teaching scene
* Deny the basic reality of the scene
* Worry about what to say, so they don’t say anything

This six-hour masterclass will have a one-hour break for lunch.

Prerequisite: You must have taken a previous workshop with Dave! (Classes this weekend count.)
