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

Sunday, Apr 14, 2024 @ 10:30 AM MDT • $125.00

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.)
Instructor: In his decades-long improv career, David Razowsky has worked as an actor, teacher, director, and artistic director at The Second City. Steve Carell and Keegan-Michael Key have both called David a "fearless" improviser. He's performed with Carell, Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris, Rachel Dratch, and countless other improv legends. He's been a consultant for Dreamworks, BBC's Whose Line Is It Anyway, and a director at Amsterdam's Boom Chicago. David also performed and taught at iO West and The Steppenwolf Theater Company.
