Stage Dynamics (David Razowsky Masterclass)
Stage Dynamics (David Razowsky Masterclass)
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?” These masterclasses provide methods and exercises that teach you to connect to your partner and the scene without worrying about the rules. Pick up and join the fun! (Books available for purchase at the workshops.)
Stage Dynamics: 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. Prerequisite: Level 2 or higher or permission of instructor and principal.

He went on to serve as Artistic Director of Second City Hollywood for nine years before turning his attention to full-time coaching.
