Acclaimed author and improvisor David Razowsky returns to The Actor's Place for this exciting TWO-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.

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.
